I used vibrant to combat a fairly serious algae issue and it worked pretty good over the 9 week treatment cycle. I didn’t do enough to get my parameters in check during that time so a new algae has cropped up that I originally thought was green cyano. I’m interested to see if dosing it at this stage helps with your diatoms. For a tank the size of yours I would think that the early addition of a Tomini or Kole Tang and Foxface would be beneficial to help with natural algae control going forward too. Assuming you like and want to keep those fish of course.I started dosing Vibrant this morning.
I dosed 20ml for my approximate 200g water volume. The brown algae / diatoms are getting bad looking and I would like to try to nip it in the bud and try stay ahead of it from there.
I will monitor over the next week to see if I need to dose every 2 weeks or every week or if I need to dose at all.
Who knows. I may just go get a Tang or Foxface.
