OK , I see some ugly Brown hair algae

[reefstinger]

just started a week ago and its growing fast. Anyone have a couple SEA hares for sale or trade? Got to get some this weekend. :mad2:

Sea hares don't do well in our clean tanks. I'd just add some more small hermits. Tangs???

You can siphon what you can and go lights out for a few days.

I have 2 tangs now, a 5" sailfin and a 3" blonde naso.

Well tangaray im running XR30 radions about 10 hr daily cycle . 7 hours at 100% intensity. Or I guess i can cut back on light cycle to 4hrs 100%% . I know my Anemones will not like this.:unsure:

Try removing nutrients and stop feeding for a day or two...

GFO, Rox carbon, carbon dosing, wet skimming, 20% daily water changes, etc will all help remove nutrients.

Thanks everyone. I cut back on the RADION LED"s also. I will try some wet skimming, just did a 20% water change saturday. I will do another this Saturday.

What was the verdict?

 

[kilralpine]

Rather than cutting the lighting schedule I would cut some of the intensity, radions are pretty strong PAR wise, but thats not really your issue here. Water parameters are the issue certainly, as it wouldn't grow due to overexposure to light before it would having phosphates available.

I wish</em> I could grow hair algae. My turbos absolutely tear it up. Put some in there the other night just to see if they could find it, and it was 100% gone the next morning.
