Sick of GHA going to start dosing perxoide

[Bugger]

I've tried algae fix algae x and removed fish. Nothing is working for my GHA. The whole tank is suffering from it. Just wondering if I should dip or dose.
What is the dose times and amount you need

if you dose. pull your shrimp. especially cleaner.

Thanks for your reply

Manually remove as much as you can first. Rule of thumb is 1 ml per 10 gallons. I've personally have done 3 times that amount with no problems.

Turning lights off for a few days while dosing helps as well

ive done 1:1 and witnessed stress in sps and killed my shrimp quick.

clams, snails, fish did not die.

if i were to give advice. i would consider 1ml per 5gal is maximum unless you are going to war.

1:1 is accepting the good with the bad. and tbh. gha is not worth that kind of bomb.

get some gfo online or find the source of your phosphate.

Gha can be killed off with peroxide. Like russ said take care of what's feeding it or it will just come back

Do you have a nutrient export method in place?

 

[Bugger]

I took my all in one bio pellets offline. No Im not running GFO but am running zeovit. I have a sea hare but at the rate its eating it will never take care of the problem. I have some cheato but its only a small amount. I can run a phosphate test in the mean time

 

[ReefTankRebel]

How old is your tank? How much do you feed? How often and how much are you changing water? Do you blow the dietrus off your rock work? Do you have a cleanup crew? A lot of questions but all could very well be you problem.

yeah. dont dose aa. its like inviting a crash to your reef tank.
gha is phosphates ime. get some gfo online and itll go away. what takes it's place is another story.

Why did you take the biopellets offline?

When you say running zeovit, which parts?

 

[Bugger]

I use start 3 and bacteria and sponge power. I just diden't think the pellets where doing anything

 

[ReefTankRebel]

It's a nutrient issue . Either too much feeding or detritus building up in rocks. Do you ever blow the detritus us off your rocks?

When I dosed vodka and peroxide I got my first ever dinoflagellate problem.

vodka ive heard can bring a relapse. never heard peroxide doing it

Peroxide is supposed to curb it - it did a little for a few weeks then it took off. I stopped dosing vodka at that time as well

I never had any dino until dosing. 11 years without it.

yeah. i just dont see peroxide doing anything but killing it.

i killed my dinos with peroxide and lights out

 

[Joanmarti2014]

Turn off the lights 4 o 5 days, the dinos and ciano die, but for me it looks like some bryopsis also
