Hello, Twenty years ago when I did my first reef tank with Live Rock it was perfect from week 4 moving on. But this dry rock has me perplexed!
I have a non-stop ugly brown or snot green hair algae phase. I've tried Reef Flux RX, I've tried scrubbing the rock, I do 20% water change every two weeks, I have UV, I have a skimmer, I tried Mexican Turbos but they can't keep up. The tank has another weird cycle where it gets milky cloudy every 3-5 weeks and the while UV will help, it's super weird.
I'm now dosing some "Seachem Seed" to see if that will help, I don't want to do Vibrant as I have a bunch of Macro Algae in a refugium. Thoughts?
I have some flat rock stacked back against the glass wall that could be providing a very slow flow/decomposition areas that might be giving me some trouble as well.
Here's a reddit link with my video if it doesn't play below. ()
Thanks!
