i feel like i have to do it every day or every other day...the pods really seem to like it when i dont clean it off though...but after 3 days its pretty thick...I changed out the GFO yesterday and I am hoping it reels it in a bit...

I use to have to do it about every other day. I started changing my gfo more frequently and added poly filters to a canister and started running it. I don't have a phosphate tester yet but I'm sure it was high. I feed too much!

there aren't any fish in the tank yet (tank was started in early december) as I have been lazy and not started the stock list...so other than corals and snails there is not anything else in the tank...so no phosphates are added to it by food etc....and hanna low range is 0.03...my other tank that i feed fish in doesn't get the film nearly as often...so its kinda odd.

every day I have a light film.I've cut back on my feeding, but I do run my lights longer than most. People tell me that it's too much, but guess what, my corals aren't complaining.

A newer tank is going to cycle through different algae blooms, that is probably what is happening to you. Do you have new rock in the aquarium?

I switched from GFO to SeaChem SeaGel and it really helped me real in phosphate levels. What kind of rock do you have in the tank? was it live? cured?
