Man I'm so kicking my self in the A$$ every time I look at that tank and since Dec I spend alot of time stuck here with it..
Had I been able to move around I'd have poured several gallons of industrial bleach in to it all ready.. This damn algae has been here since Amcarig set up a 90 with some L/Rock.. Have I ever mentioned I hate L/R and L/sand and would never use it ?
Ozone U/V you name it I tried it P.H at 9.00 for a month Carbonates at 20 DKH Calcium at 700 Magnesium at 2,100 Salinity at 1.015 to 1.030 I have used some algae killer stuff now I have the light's off and going to order some Barley extract to see if that has any effect.. Barley is a good algaecide for Ponds and such Turns a green pond into a clear pond fast..
ORP at from 300 to 420 to see if that did anything ): I really hate to kill of the corals in there.. But I'd never use them in another system or even give them away . Thats where this started Trying to save a coral with some on its base rock.. I bleached the spots with a tooth brush and thought I had it all. I guess I missed a cell ? Sometimes you have to cut the hand off to save the arm.
