With goby- yesI have done 3 large water changes where I have scrubbed the rock with a tooth Brush, siphoned sand and scrubbed back glass of build up as well.
I have water mixing now to do another one tonight or tomorrow as well.
Are all CUC you listed compatible with Pink Goby?
The tank is on the opposite side of the room from all windows. I do not “think” it is getting any direct sunlight at all, but I do plan on monitoring this over the next couple of days since I have never paid close attention to it.
Great link for helpI would start all over blaaa plaaa hahahaha just kidding. Make sure the tap off water is silicate and phaphate free. Drop in a few tuxedo urchins after pulling off as much as you can. I only use Walmart distilled water. Check this out https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/will-tuxedo-urchin-eat-green-hair-algae.523308/
I am running full RODI system and maintain the filters in this religiously. Keep bins clean etc. 0TDS and chlorine tests show zero (I do the about twice a year to make sure nothing is creeping up).I would start all over blaaa plaaa hahahaha just kidding.

Could be a problem with where my tank is for sure.With goby- yes
Im not concerned with sun but UV from sun which will promote algae in a hurry
Or possibly lighting , gha thrives on light, if you can reduce light intensity or maybe reduced hours, this will slow the growthCould be a problem with where my tank is for sure.
Sickliest looking GHA I have ever seen. Can’t understand how something this sickly looking is thriving. Are the lights playing tricks on me? Would like see this under the microscope.Here are photos
It’s mostly chrysophytes. Looks like bleached GHA for the most part.Sickliest looking GHA I have ever seen. Can’t understand how something this sickly looking is thriving. Are the lights playing tricks on me? Would like see this under the microscope.
I thought chrysophytes were single cell organisms. Do you have a reference which describes this bleached GHA looking organism? Thanks!It’s mostly chrysophytes. Looks like bleached GHA for the most part.
It is my suspect especially when you get a mix like this. get a sheet of black construction paper and place where the sun/uv hits tank and place it there. You will quickly see a reductionCould be a problem with where my tank is for sure.
I have a tuxedo urchin in the tank. I don’t think he can keep up with what’s in the tank though unfortunatelyYou might also consider an urchin. I’ve never had one, but I hear they have a huge appetite for algae, including gha. The blue tuxedo urchin might be a good choice. They also eat coraline algae, which is why I’ve never tried them. But it might be worth the sacrifice in your case.
Just read through entire “Algae Identification” thread. As I’m sitting here reading I looked over to my wife “babe, I’m about to perform surgery on my tank”. Massive look of confusion, but after reading all 7 pages of that one thread I’m hooked. I have to give this a shot.pay close attention to the thread linked inside titled: about to give up/gha
and then it's fixed in 24 hours and still fixed today.
notice what we do to the sand, never skip that part.
