Hi, i have been dealing with this algea for awhile now and its just not stoping. I do weekly changes and scrub the rocks when i do. I have a reactor with phos-ban in it. Fuge with chaeto and little to no feeding. I feed my single maroon clown with mysis maybe a 1/8 a cube. Yes i strain it and he eats it directly out of a pipette. Im guessing its leechin heavly from my rocks at this point. I reused my old LR so im assumeing thats it. Any ideas?

29gal biocube. About a tbs of gfo. Should i increase?

This is easy fix. Don't treat the water at all, treat the algae. See our big pest algae thread for quite the easy fix. Big post, just under this thread. The rocks need to be guided back to clean, and we show how to do that below with detritus retention tests.

The time you adjust GFo is when the tank is free of algae, not to make it free of algae, important distinction.
