See video below. My tank initially had a dino problem 3 months ago. I fixed it and then had a massive spike in what appear to be GHA. I put 20 turbo snails and also have 4 tangs (purple, blue, whitetail and achilles). No one seems to care to eat this stuff.

After about a month, almost all the turbo snails died. The tank was getting overrun so I used ReefFlux (fluconazole) for 2 weeks. That seem to help so I did a water change and then it got worst again, much worse. So I again doses ReefFlux and its been 3 weeks.

Again ReefFlux seems to help but its not eliminating issue. I suspect it will come back big time after I do a water change.

Right now still have about 4 turbos alive, all my crabs are fine and other snails. I will put more turbos in. I think they died from the dino that didnt get fully removed.




So is this GHA and why isnt my tangs or the snails eating it? I dont think this is dino cause the other dino I had a few months ago was in long strands and really bothered my birdsnest. Right now the birdsnest is very happy.
 
Also just installed a turf scrubber. Scrubber is working but not sure if its helping the issue yet.
 
Looks more like turf algae than GHA to me. Typically grows denser and shorter than GHA.
 

ARE YOU READY TO CONFESS TO CRAZIEST, DUMBEST, FUNNIEST THING YOU’VE EVER DONE IN REEFING?
