Over a year ago I bought an (over priced) frag from XX, a big coral grower that everyone knows and loves. I've NEVER had an algae problem but have had high nutrients at times and this stick ALWAYS is my warning signal.
There will be NO alage to be found except on/in the tip and base of this stick! I'm sure if I didn't address my prams I would have an algae outbreak but I fix it. However, this stick drives me crazy!
I've cut the top out of it at least 5 times, pulled it off the completly encrusted frag plug, scrapped the bottom of the SPS and reattached it but it does it again! This thing never has a chance to grow and I'm afraid of what "type" of alage it is so I am not going to allow it to stay in my system.
Anyone have any advise or soulutions to such an issue besides getting rid of it?
It does have the nicest color of all my sticks!
Thanks
