It should according to the article. It doesn't need to grow to release the chemicals that kill that algae.So now I wonder if the ulva is actually gonna make any difference with po4 being so low as well as nitrate.
If the ulva, or whatever other algae, is used as the main nutrient export filter it will grow even when po4 is very low & no3 reads zero assuming you are regularly feeding fishSo now I wonder if the ulva is actually gonna make any difference with po4 being so low as well as nitrate.
Turn the skimmer off.So that leaves me to my original question and thinking if I should just put half in fuge and see if it grows and cut up the other half. Since skimming will remove sone of the chemical warfare that will kill/subside my dinos
You have very low no3 & po4 so turning the skimmer off for a week wouldn't be a problem. Keep it off till the dino problems solved. Run the lactuca on red 24/7 if you want.@Scrubber_steve
How long skimmer off?
Plus I just thought about something. In my basement I have lights that stay on 24/7 while red led lights come on at night. Should I turn the white lights that run 24/7 off?
Bonam fortunam!So today marks the day. Finally received my ulva from algae barn. It was all broke up and little war in jar. Was supposed to be here Thursday but finally delivered today. I temp acclimated. Placed in fuge. Turned off skimmer. Fuge lights come on around 9-10 so let’s see what happens. Wish me luck fellow hobbyist
This is what I would do if I was you.I recently added more ulva. So far it’s dobe nothing for my dinos/diatoms. My nitrate is 5 and phosphate is now up to 0.11 last time I checked. Skimmer is still off.
Only thing I noticed is some yellow slime stuff in top of my water in fuge. Seen some engulfing some of the ulva that’s floating.
Anymore ideas or suggestions?
Not sure if I have diatoms or Cyano but I added a single 4 square inch piece of Ulva in my fudge and it is noy atoeast 5x that size after a week, but havent noticed any thing different with the cyano/Dino. I also left my UV and Skimmer on, so that might also be my problem.
