Hello All,
I noticed what looks to be the beginnings of green hair algae in my display tank (oh goodie) and, upon further investigation, I found my formerly thriving red ogo completely disintegrated (and possibly strangled by green hair???)
Any idea what the heck can cause this?
I had the red ogo in my sump refugium with my MarinePure cubes with a ChaetoMax light that I run from 10PM to 8AM (if I remember correctly). There is currently nothing but copepods in my system right now as my tank is only a few weeks old and I have been dosing 1/4 ounce of OceanMagik every evening since I added them and the red ogo on 03/23. I cycled my tank using TurboStart 900 beginning on 03/14 and parameters have been relatively stable since. I will test the water in the morning and report back with current parameters.
I pulled all of the dead stuff that I could out of my sump, but it is seriously everywhere. Sprinkled all over my tank and running through everything. I cut the lights completely, but is there anything I can do to get rid of this stuff before it turns into a major ammonia problem if it hasn't already?
Thanks in advance!
