Can’t get this under control, went on vacation and came back and it’s crazy looks like brown hair algae, not seeing any nitrates or Phosphate on test, did water changes.

Agreed with manual removal, that would be a lot to try and get a clean up crew for.

Zero nitrates and phosphates are not good IMO either, though I think I'd want to get the algae fixed first.

HOW IMPORTANT ARE FISH TO MAKING A REEF TANK FEEL COMPLETE?

  • Essential! A reef needs fish movement and personality

    Votes: 36 66.7%

  • Very important, but one or two fish may be enough

    Votes: 5 9.3%

  • Optional... a coral-only reef can feel completely finished

    Votes: 2 3.7%

  • I actually prefer a coral-and-invertebrate-only system

    Votes: 0 0.0%

  • It depends on the tank’s size, style, or purpose

    Votes: 9 16.7%

  • I’ve kept a fishless reef (details in the comments)

    Votes: 1 1.9%

  • Well...it's complicated... (answer in the comments)
