Day four for me and my Algae actually looks to be flourishing and growing :mad:. I'm taking pictures and documenting along the way and will post everything when the cycle period is over. I know this Hair Algae comes from Phosphates. I'm running High Capacity GFO from BRS. Change it out every 3 weeks. Cut feeding way back Only feed every other day now, once per day. The rock is one year old Pukani from BRS. Algae has been there going on about 2 months now. Just exploded. I first thought it was the T5 bulbs. Changed them out 2 weeks ago. And cut back the photoperiod. Changed all my RODI filters so I'm at zero. Was at 1 TDS for a week. Now I just ordered some PhosRX to try after this cycle is over. I just don't think its a good idea to mix the two together.
Weird part is I do see lots more algae floating in the water column and in my filter socks. So something has to be working right! I'm just too dang stubborn to give up. I shall prevail! Let the cycle continue.
