Hey all,
Hope you are all well!
I started up a FOWLR tank back in June. Went through the normal diatom phase and it seemed to go away eventually with coralline algae spreading from my one live rock i had to all the others. Well, i’ve noticed it’s been slowly creeping back in and suddenly, almost over night it seems, it and green hair algae are everywhere. Nothing has changed. Feeding hasn’t changed, light amount hasn’t changed. I’m at a bit of a loss.
My question is how to get rid of it. I’ve read everything from scrub it all off with a toothbrush, to dosing with phosphate removing chemicals, to direct hydrogen peroxide treatments in tank. How would you guys recommend removing this stuff?
The green and brown algae are even all over the shells of my snails and crabs.
Hope you are all well!
