Newer to reefing & tank is about 4 months old. Nano 5 gal Macroalgae mixed reef.
This “algae” has taken over and even 5+ hours of manual removal weekly isn’t keeping up. Very “brown” not very “green” in color! 25+ snails/inverts aren’t making a dent either.
Nitrates are roughly 2.3ppm
Phosphates 0.04 & just threw in some GFO
Is GHA normally this stringy? Gets full of bubbles during the day too! Very hard to scrub off and increased flow is no match for it. It’s starting to take over and really test my patience…
