Hi I've noticed that I've started to have a build up of this white stringy algae in my sump area in a reefer 350. I have been dosing nopox for the last month at only about 6ml at night. How should I approach this? My nutrients aren't bottomed out

Likely to be bacteria growth encouraged by carbon dosing

That's what I figured after some reading? I removed the nopox from my doser, cleaned my sump and did lots of manual removing/cleaning of them. Anything else I should be doing?

Sounds like you are done.
