Hello! So having a heck of a time…. Seems like every time I try hand removal it just blows up 10 x worse a week later. Thought it was gha but inverts/ foxface and starry won’t touch it!!! I do have a tiff of Bryopsis I’ll attach as the last pic(fairly certain) but wondering if it all isn’t just a couple different types? Anyway I started a Fluconazole treatment yesterday…
tank is 1.2 years old ( algae problems really picked up a month ago…
Salinity is 1.026
No3 is hovering around 3 now. Was steady around 15-20 for months
Po4 is .08…. Was steady around .18-.2 for months
alk is 7.75… slightly lower as the flux brought them down a bit over night from 8.12( been steady there for months. Been dosing for 6 ish months
calcium is 420 now.was actually around 300 Tested with new tests ( was using Hanna for the last year and always showed high 450-500… Red Sea and Salifert are pretty close. Bumped up to 420 within the last week
mag is at 1400 now. Hanna test was always showing super high 1600-1800 . Tried salifert and AF and was sitting around 1200 bumped that up within the last week to 1400
Hoping to get a little insight as to what I got going on. Making me want to pull my hair out.
Pretty sure this second to last one is Bryopsis for sure …
all of the algae is deep rooted and hard to remove( grab it and can move a whole rock) growing right out of the middle of a lot of my coral….
thanks for your time!!!
