So I've been battling whatever "algae" this is since May. I can't get rid of it. What is it? How do I get rid of it?
A little backstory: I've had this reef set up and going since May 2019, didn't battle this then. Fast forward to February 2020, I have an ich outbreak and decide to quarantine and treat all fish, while leaving the tank fallow for 76+ days. During this time I was still "phantom feeding" the tank due to having inverts and what not. Fast forward to May 2020, I start to reintroduce all the fish back into the tank, shortly after all this appears. I do weekly water changes of about 35-40%. When I do the water changes it will disappear for about 4-5 days and then begin to return. Urgh! Help please!
