Hi guys,
This plant/algae has been slowly taking over my tank and whatever I throw at it does not kill it. I've done the following:
- water changes
- added GFO reactor
- added Carbon
- increased skimming - Vertex 180i
- changed to 10 micron filter socks
- added a refugium
- increased magnesium
- increased alk,
- increased calcium.
- added sea slugs
- added snails
- added crabs
- decreased feeding of fish
- new ATI sunpower t5 fixture with new bulbs
- reduced lighting cycles
- added Algaefix
I dont know what else to do. I have to manually try and rip it out every time a do a water change but it always comes back.
I am thinking of doing a week long blackout period. I guess the last thing to do if that doesn't work is replace all the rock.
Please help!
