Hello all
Looking to identify and get rid of this algae/bacteria.
Tank is 11 months old
Coral beauty
Midas blenny
Diamond goby
Two clowns
Royal Gramma
Was dosing carbon for a bit. Stopped as of last week.
Have a media reactor with GFO running
Protein skimmer running
Have some small spots of GHA on the rocks
Have a small turf scrubber in the tank from Santa Monica. Not doing much
Tons of snails and a Pom Pom crab
Carib sea life rock
Carib sea pink Fiji sand
HW salt mix pro
Full RODI 6 stage
Ammonia -0
Nitrite - 0
This started when I switched food to exclusively LRS but that can’t be the culprit I’ve used it before and had zero issues.
I also added some rocks from aquacave but his process is phenomenal so I’d be shocked if that was the issue. The food and the rocks are the only changes in 6 months.
Any help is appreciated
I can brush it off with a tooth brush but it comes back in a few days. It’s not crazy but I want to nip this soon.
