I believe it's GHA and some other. I been using purigen and chemi pure elite to slow it down but don't seem to be having any impact

Sea urchins and the Dolabella auricularia are very usefull to get rid of these algae, consider introducing a few of these.

The last few week i gradualy repaced al my T5 ligthing.

It was about time !!!!!!!!
The result after 12-14 months in used was obviously showing.

In my opinion lighthing choice is 40% responsible for optimal result in a top level reef tank. Another 40% is the waterquality and 20% procent luck and effort.
In a reef tank mainly stocked with sofcorals these figure will be more leveled.

Pardon my ignorance, but, what is a DSR reef? I've kept reef tanks for over a decade and have never heard the term. Thanks!

No problem... it just a name i have given to my way of a mixed reef maintenance.

Look here:

I started a thread but it got kind of hijacked, so i felt it was time to give it a rest.
I don't really have the need to explain how i do things, only to be criticised at. When people thinks they know better, i step back, because it's worth the effort to get annoyed over a hobby.
I suppose given some time, the idea will sink in. I enjoy a busy life, so i only do things i like and in my spare time i share my reefing knowledge and experiences with people who really appreciate it.

In the meanwhile google on my name and subject and you will find plenty information.

Hello. What a wonderful tank you have. I hope to have one like this some day. Thanks for all of the information you have provided. I tried to get the calculator but the site is no longer available.
Would you please post it again?
