I need serious help

[vetteguy53081]

I am using tap water for top off. I am think of getting a rodi unit from Bulk Reef Supply. Would you recommend that? Also, my tank is not to close to a window.

Tap water is a culprit to the cause. Yes- even a used unit. Try for now until you get a unit- 5 gal jugs of water from LFS or even Walmart dispenser system at .37 per gallon
Indirect sunlight from a window will also be a cause, Reduce the brightness of your white lights

Have you made sure it’s not Bryopsis? Nothing will eat it and it grows fast. I’m treating my tank with Fluconazole to kill It.

My tank is filled with algae what do I do?

Go to marine depot and search for brightwell razor. Use that for a week at or just below the recommended dose it will eat away at the algae and release the rest from the rock so that u can easily remove it from the tank via water changes (w/rodi). From the looks of your tank you will probably want to run a chemi clean treatment for all the cyano about a week after you treat for algae. And for sure u need to stop using tap water if you want to stop having algae grow in your tank. If not it will just come right back. Best of luck!

Will the brightwell razor harm anything

The reason I ask is because it looks like Bryopsis, but the photo is not clear enough

Had a friend he was getting water from lfs or walmart.. he had hair algae bad .. come to find out the water they was giving him was having tds reading,what I mite do in this situation is slowly bring mag up a bit,bringing mag up is known to choke out the algae .. cut the whites back ,see if the water you are getting is tainted.use toothbrush and fish net and remove as much as you can .. find a schedule that works and stick with it . Chemicals are just a band aid it will come back if underlying issue is not fixxed .. run the skimmer so you get a bit more wet skim ,make sure you have a good clean up crew ..
