We have been fighting a variety of HA since day one (1.5 years). This is not anything close to an infestation probably because we pull, brush, scrape every week along with water changes. It is very close to the surface but does get around some of the frags, It is more of a red variety, not cyano, we have a little of that as well on the sand bed that gets picked off weekly. To my point. I am trying to get all of this under control and reduce the maintenance time.
My nutrients are pretty low. NO3 at 0.2 and PO4 at .040. My chaeto does not grow. I see little point in using GFO. I have thought about a tang or a lawnmower blenny but they seemed to be hit and miss. Same with urchins, crabs, ect. Any thoughts what to try next. I even thought of a ATS but if the chaeto doesn't grow with low nutrients why would that work?
