Hi all! Recently I added a skimmer and used chemiclean to battle cyano and cleared it up in a matter of days. It seems to have stayed away however now I'm getting long, stringy what I'm assuming is algae growing at a super fast rate. Like multiple times through the day I'm blowing it off rocks and corals as it floats through the water and gets wrapped up in them.
When I first noticed it I thought it was vermetid Snails but it's not. They're Very loosely attached to rocks and in strands Maybe 2 to 3 inches long. Easy to blow off but they float around and wrap up on corals.
Very hard to get a picture of because my camera phone doesn't like to focus on my tank. The best I could do is below. The strand in the pic is parallel to the front edge of the Monti, juat under the growth edge on the rock.
Any ideas?
Params are
Sal 1.026
Alk 7.5
Phosphate .04
Calc 450
