Yes I used it as a last resort and it saved my mixed reef. It really is magic in a a bottle. I have a thread on here called GHA has won tank tear down.not to use scary terms, but is "dimethyliminoethylene dichloride, ethoxylate" reef safe?

I'm not opposed to chemical bombs as a last resort (or knocking them), but IMHO removing the marine pure block and doing a little manual scrubbing on the rocks seems like a safer test. If urgent death is imminent then maybe drop the chemical bomb. I'm also disinclined to believe that magic is real and anyone saying that it is real must have a vested interest in perpetuating a myth.Yes I used it as a last resort and it saved my mixed reef.

Roger that, as far as magic I can’t wait to see the anti gravity reactor lazar has been talking aboutI'm not opposed to chemical bombs as a last resort (or knocking them), but IMHO removing the marine pure block and doing a little manual scrubbing on the rocks seems like a safer test.

No, it's more like hair algae. It gets up to about 1.5 inches long and waves in the current.Is this algae similar to a pad of fine steel wool?
Any updates? I've tried peroxide myself and it definitely grows back.Update: On Sunday, 7/14, I removed all my live rock, scrubbed each piece with a stiff toothbrush, rinsed in a bucket of water from the tank, put 12% food grade hydrogen peroxide on each spot where the GHA had been, rinsed again in the same bucket, and then rinsed again in a clean bucket of tank water. I also removed the large marine pure block from the sump and did a 20% water change. The live sand is only 6 months old so I didn’t do anything to it.
My parameters after all this were:
NO3: 0.1
PO3: 0.06 (Hannah ULR)
Alk: 8.4
Calc: 420
Sg: 1.024
I am continuing to dose 2 Part ESV 7.5ml per day and 10ml NOPOX per day.
Here are some current pictures of the tank after the treatment:
I plan to switch back to Red Sea Coral Pro salt. I had been using the blue bucket. I hope I can keep it at bay now.
