Hello, all
I have a 30 gallon reef tank that I have broke down and restarted 3 times thus in hopes to get rid of this algae I cannot seem to beat. It is very persistent, and I feel that all the cleaning and water changes does absolutely nothing but spread the algae. It will be gone, but comes right back the next day like a crazy ex. It is red/maroon in color and ONLY grows on the glass, mildly on the sand. My nutrient parameters have been stable, and always are. I have a very hard time believing that it’s cyano or red slime, every means of eradication has been attempted but bears no fruit. As stated, this is my 3rd rendition of the tank but it still seems to follow me. I run many reef tanks, yet this is the only thing ive ever been stumped on. This tank sits in front of a window, but as do my others. I have ran every chemical known to man, test my water more than I should be having too, clean and water change more than I should need to…
Has anybody encountered something like this? If so, please help me figure this out and rid of it.
