Fast growing corals can save your tank....when I started reefing I read a lot of blog posts...and many warned of the dangers of green star polyps and pulsing xinia and the sort taking over your tank. I think this does a disservice to new reefers....here is why. Fast growing and easy to care for...

Hey all, So over the last few weeks I have found tufts if gha in my display. They don't seem to be growing but they are there and driving my crazy. So I decided to break out all my checker and run some test. Well I found I have zero nitrate (hanna hr) and .03 phosphate (hanna ulr). I am...

@Randy Holmes-Farley Hello. I have a bryopsis and gha problem in my 150g dt and sump combined aquarium. I have tried manually scrubbing it off the aquascape however they keep coming back and now have taken over almost all the walls and rock. I have been reading. Lot about Fluconazole lately. I...

I'm having a bit of an algae outbreak in my tank. I believe it is just GHA but I would like a second opinion. Can anyone ID this algae? Is it GHA or Bryopsis or something else? The tank is 6 months old, here are the current parameters: PO4: 0.09 NO3: 0.4 CA: 420 MG: 1500 DKH: 8.8

Hi All, I am relatively new to Saltwater and would love some assistance with my current situation. I was a little excited with the cycle and did have lights on including white for some time ( I have learned since then). Can someone please assist in identifying the algae growth and let me know...

Hi all, Wanted to bounce some ideas off of you. I have developed a pretty bad patch of GHA in a pretty small area around the bases of some of my SPS. It’s right at the highest PAR area of the tank, which I’m sure isn’t helping. I have 30-40 astrea sp. and turbo snails, a green pistol shrimp...

Hey all, Battling gha for months and months. Finally removed every single rock in my 220g, scrubbed and scrubbed and rinsed and rises and did a 100 gallon water change. Replaced in my tank yesterday. Now fine reddish/brown dusting/stringy hairs on the rocks. What is this? Dinos? What should I...

Hey everyone so let me explain what’s going on. I have a pic to show the terrible gha. I’ve neglected it for a good month or two and obviously it’s gotten a little crazy now. My options are. 1. Taking everything out scrub the rocks normally, and scrub the bottom floor and do a big water change...
