My tank is 14 mo old (upgrade not totally new). I've treated it 2x's with reef flux and am about to do a 3rd run. The algae is bryopsis for the most part. Maybe all of it. I have rocks where it comes back. Certain ones first. Other rocks with no algae and have never had algae, others only if I let it go before treating. So it is a recurring issue on parts of my tank but not all. Each treatment seems to leave me with clear rocks. 1st time I still had some but I waited 5 weeks the 2nd time.
Last time I left the treatment for 5 weeks and just used carbon and purigen to remove. No water change. Typically no3 stays under 20 and po4 either bottoms out or under .2 Mostly .06-.1 When I have this algae issue, usually my numbers have bottomed out.
Right now, no3 is .3 and po4 0 yet I know the tank must have and that the algae is consuming.
Tanks is 240g (220 approx minus rock/sand) . I have 3 bottles. Each treats 100g. Should I be using more than 1 capsule per 10 gal? Or do another full dose after 3 weeks?
I read somewhere here where someone was dosing RF as a preventative. I'm thinking I may need to do this. At least for a while. This is frustrating as I'm right on top of things in my tank
