I’ve had rooted algae, red type, fit sometime now. Yesterday I removed everything from the DT, took peroxide3% wiped down the tank. I took a syringe and basted the algae along bottom seal. The rock is Tonga branch so I removed most of the coral and poured peroxide over the rocks, scraped everything I could with a scalpel including 31 bumblebee snails, that was a little tough and the trochius snail shells. It took all day but it’s a start. It’s a 34g display, after it was done it was a 6.5 g water change. I also cleaned the skimmer. As the pics show, that algae turned orange but it’s still rooted. What’s my best bet of eradicating it? I use small amounts of KZ products, backing off for now. I skim wet and use KZ carbon passively in a bag, mesh sock, 4g water changes per week. I have high end tenuis and LPS so I’m leary of using chems.
