Anything else I can do to get rid of this GHA?

[Chris_Noles]

I’ve had this GHA for about a month and have dosed vibrant about twice, is there anything else I can do to get rid of it?

Vac your sand, stop using Vibrant, get a better/more powerful Refugium. Feed more after that.

Maybe buy 2-3 more snails, how old is the aquarium?

Don't have a refugium

about 4 months old

It's a really good nutrient export, look into getting one.

 

[Zakery Murray]

How big is the tank? I would look into a refugium personally.

If you use vibrant, you have to use it as directed. I think it’s once a week (?). But it takes several weeks to see results. No fast fix for algae unfortunately.

It’s actually not that bad. At 4 months old it’s a normal part of new tank syndrome. Just keep up the usual strategies of water changes, feeding less, toothbrushing the rocks, and you will get past it.

I've used vibrant once to get rid of GHA- I used it twice a week and it took about 2-3 months to disappear , but it did and after that I got cyano which apparently is common after using vibrant.

Yeah I've been dosing about once every 2 weeks and I thought this was new tank syndrome but it looks terrible and I wonder if its something else that is causing it

Your tank is going through the same thing that everyone else's does. Keep parameters in order. Clean what you can by hand. Stop thinking it's the end of the world, it's not. It's normal.

 

[Steven Garland]

Why do they creep you out lol are you 4yrs old ?!
