    GHA bloom A-N-N cycle ???

    GHA Treatment Well so far I have pulled out most of the lighter colored stuff and trimmed back the green hair. In addition I dropped a lawn mower blenny in there and he has been bitting away at the algae. I came accross Algae Fix Marine and it got s lot of reviews on Foster and Smith, but I am...

    GHA bloom A-N-N cycle ???

    What about dosing with Purple Up? From your experience would this encourage coralline algae growth like the bottle says or would it be another contributor to the GHA?

    GHA bloom A-N-N cycle ???

    It is that blue sponge material filter pad. I clean them once a week with my 10% water change. I just went ahead and removed them. They were pretty dirty from just 2 days. Thanks alot. So again I don't mean to beat this into the ground but do I just remove the light colored GHA or should I be...

    GHA bloom A-N-N cycle ???

    Nothing really prevelant on the CLR's. I have not tested my RO/DI water for nitrates. I'll give that a try though. I did feed with very small amount of marine flakes for about 3 weeks. I know that has P in it I am pretty sure. But I only have a clown and a Chromis in there along with 3 small...

    GHA bloom A-N-N cycle ???

    I am trimming the light stuff back, how long do you think this will go on before I start seeing the GHA disappear and coralline algae start forming on my eco dry rock. I seeded my 40gal long that has 40 lbs eco dry reef saver rock with 8 lbs of cured live rock. It was seeded with one 1lb CLR 18...

    GHA bloom A-N-N cycle ???

    Dennis, No I do not have a refugium, wished I did in this case but it is what it is. I'll just keep pulling out the light green stuff slowly so i don't disrupt my param's too much. With all the info I have been given I think this along with regular water changes might work. Another peice of...

    Mystery Algae

    Thank You Now that makes sense. I am glad I asked. So I did a 10% water change today added some more water circulation with a Korilla pump and the fish I had out for two days I placed back in there. I could not believe how much stuff flew out of the rocks when i added that extra pump. I did my...

    Mystery Algae

I was advised to take out my fish cut off my skimmer and discontinue water changes and continue my regular photo period and fresh RO/DI H2O top...

    Question Krish, it sounds like I am in the same boat you were before you quit this hobby. Is GHA a part of the Nitrogen Cycle?

    GHA bloom A-N-N cycle ???

    I started my tank on the 5th of august and have been running lights since September 10th. I had no real algae bloom until recently. Now my tank is covered in GHA. I have been advised that this is a part of the Nitrogen cycle and to shut down my skimmer and discontinue any water changes. In...
