Thank You Josh ! I was already considering another dip if this one dip wasn't enough. Your post gives me confidence .So we shall see !
Hi Miss Sarah , thanks for stopping by ! If all fails I will frag these pieces & try to save what I can . I have an older Huge UV on the shelf . I don't think I need it though. The tank over all isn't all ate up with algae. I do admit I have a wide variety . Like algae never discovered in the sea before !
How do you treat algae spots on rocks that you can't easily take out of the tank? I can see patches of algae just starting to appear and I want to treat it before it grows any larger
How old is you tank? There is a ugly phase in every tanks life cycle. Or you have a good source ammonia and phosphate to keep it growing.I've put a refugium on a tank to grow hair algae in so it didn't grow in display. I've also let some persistent patches grow out long so I could get a good hold on it for manual removal. Algae is not just a quick battle you can fix, you can remove phosphates efficiently but algae will consume ammonia before it breaks down in the cycle so now you need different algae to out compete what your trying to get rid of, or it's in a dead zone with no flow there is food and poop in the algae fueling its growth. So many variables...How do you treat algae spots on rocks that you can't easily take out of the tank?

CO, I have been experimenting with spot dosing Peroxide on rock in the tank. I ran across more tan a few people doing this. !st is to remove as much pulling it brushing etc then with"all "flow off. Then sparingly squirt the H2o2 over the spot. Just let it sit. If there is no current to blow it away it kinda stays there. Try not to stir the water.How do you treat algae spots on rocks that you can't easily take out of the tank?
