Does Vibrant work to get rid of unwanted algae?

[joshporksandwich]

Yes it does. Hair algae and Bryopsis were really kicking by buttocks!!! Algae went crazy after some big Natural sea water changes. I've always used NSW a few times a year and never had problems. Maybe the hurricanes stirred something up.

I started dosing 4-20

My system is 5 tanks with 400g total water volume so @UWC recomended 40ml every 4 days

4-23

After 2 week I started having to clean the powerhead every few days

Honestly I can't believe it. I spent a lot of hours with my kids cleaning algae I wish I would have done it a lot sooner. Only draw bag is my cheato died as well but that's no biggie at all. So many pictures ruined by algae!!!

I did a video that shows my before/after with vibrant. It worked REALLY well in my tank. Just jumping on the pile of people who report success. It really does work - and the algae hasn't came back after a few weeks of not dosing.

That really is a miracle product. I just dont understand what its doing.

That really is a miracle product. I just dont understand what its doing.

I would wager it works in a similar way that Fluconazole does, by inhibiting the algae's ability to bond the sells together effectively weakening the links and then breaking down. There has to be something else to it since there does seem to be a low occurrence or return issues when using it.

Do you guys think this would work on Cyano?
