UGH!! CRAP!!! NOOOOO!!!
That's what you say when you see it! ALGAE!! This is a good question and poll on a Monday because we have all week to discuss it!
Algae is going to happen in this hobby. No way around it. But sometimes algae can get such a strong foothold in your aquarium that it seems almost impossible to get rid of and at times destroy what you have built. It can be super frustrating and is probably one of the number one causes of people leaving the hobby. So let me ask you a few questions.
1. Have you ever had an incident where algae decimated your reef tank? (killed corals, caused a tank breakdown etc.) Tell us about it.
2. What type of algae did you have that caused a tank breakdown or that killed your corals?
3. If you were able to beat the algae how did you do it?
