Get a fighting conch snail or 2 also ... they eat everything! Cleared my whole Dino bloom in like 5 days.Appreciate your input. I probably should have mentioned my experience level in the intro.. I’ve been keeping reefs for 10+ years, though have had a 4 year break from sps (kids, renovation, etc.). I’ve never previously had the issue of low nutrients through, and Am struggling with the concept of this with algae.
I added 10 turbo stairs today, but also have a few hermits, some Trochus, and Stomalatella snails. None of which will help this.
Ill try to get a par meter, but am fairly confident with the light and flow. I don’t think that is the issue to be honest. I don’t know what I’m looking for here to be honest.
from my reading is seams that this algae issue is best resolved with either a sally lightfoot, or a Naso. Being that i have never seen a SLF in Australia, I think perhaps a temporary Naso might be my only option.
I think I will remove the Australian Stripey as it was only deed as a utilitarian fish and has done its job. Add a Naso, and increase the feeding as a first port of call.
If it doesn’t resolve the colour issues then perhaps I’ll try dosing nutrients.
