Hi, I am sorry to be so negative. I battled all kind of pest and algae and I was able to win each of them.
But this stupid green algae that I can't even find the real name of it, will make me shut this down if I don't find what can really kill or eat it.
I've recorded a short video because it is very hard to determine with photos what this algae really looks like so here it is:
*don't mind the sand particle in the water I just cleaned the glass before the video lol I noticed that after posting.
Removing it by hand is a continuous battle that never ends so not a real solution at the rate it grows.
Fluconazole did work once, then kinda twice then some third then not so much now.
Hermit crabs don't touch it
Emerald crabs don't touch it
Yellow Tang don't touch it
Toxedo urchin don't touch it
Money cowrie snail don't touch it
I might have tried something else that I don't remember right now
If you have battled something like that and have won this battle, your input is welcome. It is not some simple green hair algae, it is more like bryopsis/turf kind thing whatever I don't know but maybe someone got that knowledge and can help me battle that so I can regain power over my tank !
Thank you.
