Red Algae

Reefing newb
Ok my tank is being over run with algae its a redish brown.

My Current clean-up crew is:

1 Cleaner Shrimp
3 Emerald Crab
2 Turbo Snails
3 Red Reef Hermit Crabs
10 Nassarius Snails
10 Cortez Hermit Crabs


Should I add more clean-up crew?

:frustrat:

How long has it been set up? Sounds like a diatom bloom but without pics it's hard to tell.

That is a fine CUC, but you might have cyano, which wont be eaten by most of your CUC, that needs to be beaten with nutrient export.
 
you do water changes, and you also get rid of some of the fish in your tank. Then you start acting like a responsible fish keeper and only keep the fish that are meant to be in your size tank, and only keep 5 or 6 at most.
