Algae outbreak after getting some new coral. The corals were dipped but it spread anyway.
This alage is a brown color. It is long like gha. I have tried using reefflux and chemiclean. I lowered lights, turned off whites. Nothing seems to kill this. Fish won't eat it. I've been reefing for 14 years. Never had an alage like this in my tanks. Tank was almost 2 years old. Nitrates have bottomed out. Phosphate is .02
Any ideas?

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before
