consistency in approach and outcome~
from poster Kimba, these pics. thanks!
this is the cursory outcome, able to build up aquascape having opted out of algae presence. Able to stop all recurrences going forward.
Retreatment predictions: low, but some patch work isn't a surprise, this had some minor holdfast set-in and we have to attack those anchors just a few times but the point was control over the reef.
the old means: leave algae in tank, it grows, takes over your best corals, while you try and attack it through the water and not bleach out the corals in the process.
new means: kill the algae, opt out of it, then focus on better prevention. as we strive for prevention, its never allowed in our tanks again, so our tanks are algae free even if we never find true prevention. simple.
