here's a shot from this morning. there is a few little patches of hair algae, but the tangs are working on it.
i think the key is removing the phosphates then physically removing the algae off the rocks. in my tank, the aglae is not growing back due to the lack of phosphate

Anyone know where you can buy a Hanna Low Res Phosphate Colorimeter in Canada? I have been disappointed with all the other phosphate test kits. I recently even bought the MERC Phosphate Test Kit ($80) and still find it is still hard to read.

I think Tony (delphinus) bought one of those. I was under the impression that he got it from Ocean Aquatics but maybe he'll chime in here with more info.
