    That depends on what it is. Are you sure it isn't diatoms or cyano?

    Well, in any case, the answer to your problems is probably more efficient nutrient export and better sand churning via cuc.

    I like vodka dosing in combination w/ mb7. If it is cyano, use the mb7 for a couple weeks first. I had the same problem and that and turning the lights out for a couple days cleared it right up.
