You know, I think of Troy and the trials with his tank as well - it's good to be thankful when things are going well...
And I've just doubled my lighting wattage and moved to MH, and am looking for the first signs of an algae time-bomb... you almost need an emergency fund or a war chest or "snail fund"...  Anyways, very glad you're getting on top of it.

So, most of this algae is gone, thanks to my razor blade and a few snails. It has, however, been replaced by a whole new algae!! This stuff is the bushy reddish brown stuff I used to have in my frag tank. My tangs have decided they don't like it anymore, so I'm getting spend some QT in my tank manually pulling it out.
Not sure if the snails like it, but it's growing everywhere. I have to also report the addition of the Algone Kyle sent me hasn't made any dent (yet) in my algae problems. Yes, very relaxing hobby I have here.....

Bushy though? That kind of sounds like the stuff that that article (I think it was advancedaquarist.com) recommended Mexican turbos for?

That's the article I was thinking of.
I thought Steve/StirCrazy had some success with the turbos? I had some of it come in with some Tang Heaven I ordered a while ago. It was all gone within a week or two. I do have a few turbos, so I guess they ate it. If that's the stuff you've got going then you're in luck (as long as you can find some "Mexican turbos" that is).
