Alright thanks. I'll boost up my CUC and hope for the bestLooks like bryopsis to me. Voice of experience. Sorry.
depends. Some areas come off with a touch and some stick. Its weird.Could be briopsis. Does it pull off rock easily or feel more rooted and difficult to remove?
Look at the strands. GHA tends to be single strands, where bryposis branches off from the strand. Looks to me like that's what I see. @vetteguy53081, what do you think? If it's bryopsis, it can be very difficult to beat. Again, voice of experience.Alright thanks. I'll boost up my CUC and hope for the best
That looks like GHA how bad is it?I have a close up picture of a nuisance algae taking over my tank. What algae is it? Thanks
You could have both growing in the tank. I thought mine was a GHA jungle but it looked like some briopsis mixed in with mine to. The GHA pulled off easily and the other was difficult to detach.depends. Some areas come off with a touch and some stick. Its weird.
it seams thats the case for me. I have in fact noticed different features in the algae in different areas of the tank. Thanks for your helpYou could have both growing in the tank.

My tank was covered and mu standard cleaner crew couldn't deal with it. I added 3 tuxedo urchins and 2 turbo snails and raised my magnesium to 1500. They stripped the tank clean in 3 weeks with my manual removal also.it seams thats the case for me. I have in fact noticed different features in the algae in different areas of the tank. Thanks for your help
did it work well for you?If it is bruopsis just use fluconazole. It's harmless and works well. No need to change your lighting or do anything drastic.
Fluconazole is this right?If it is bruopsis just use fluconazole. It's harmless and works well. No need to change your lighting or do anything drastic.
I'd recommend natural remedies before nuking the tank with chemicals. This often opens the door to other problems.Fluconazole is this right?
ok. Ill boost up the CUC and if I dont see progress in a few weeks Ill try out flunanazoleI'd recommend natural remedies before nuking the tank with chemicals. This often opens the door to other problems.
You need urchins and a few turbo snails along with manual removal and magnesium at 1500. I dose no hard chemicals in my reef.ok. Ill boost up the CUC and if I dont see progress in a few weeks Ill try out flunanazole
I have had bad experience with urchins. Any other options? The one I have right now is starving and lost almost all his spines. hes been in a cave for a week now, probably dead. I dont understand how it could have starved, when theres so much algae. Its a pincushion urchin. I had a temperature drop by 10 F a month ago but he seemed fine then, so idk.You need urchins and a few turbo snails along with manual removal and magnesium at 1500.
