I have done a 3 day blackout, 4 50% water changes, scrubbed the rock, used hydrogen peroxide, added 40 snails and crabs, a sea hair, got a tang and fox face and nothing eats it and my phosphate is 0.009ppm and has been for over two months but it is not starving out, I have also tested ro water and it has zero phosphate and it is zero TDS. I’ve also reduced the greens and reds from my radion hen 4 pros from 23% to 3% a month ago but it's still growing back faster than ever ??

My best guess is a hair algae or a cotton candy algae.

I do wonder what’s fueling it.
I assume your tried a toothbrush and such?

Next would be fluconazole and perhaps vibrant after that.

I’ve found someone on Facebook who imports the flucanzole gunna cost around £50 I think just was wondering if there was anything else worth a try before going ahead
