gha

Hi all, I’m on week 3 of cycling my new 40g cube. No fish yet. Things having been going well, but this algae showed up over the last few days. I’m hoping it’s just GHA, but am concerned it’s bryopsis and that I may need to take action to remove ASAP. Any help IDing would be greatly appreciated.

So I have a little patch of GHA growing in between the glass and live rock, and look who’s actually helping instead of eating coral! Haha. Not sure if other people’s pufferfishes do the same?

Help me understand the BALANCING-ACT once you're infested with GHA On one hand, in order to minimize or eliminate GHA you have to STARVE the tank of Nitrates & Phosphates.... this leads to your corals STARVING.....where they just maintaining their size but NEVER grow. On the other hand, if you...

Hi Reefers: I have been battle green hair algae for about 3 months now. I think it may have killed off 2 of my corals - a blue star polyp and a black torch coral. I think it started growing at their base and then just annoyed them too death. Now I still have 4 corals left - toadstool -...

I am having a hair algae outbreak in my 55 gallon mixed reef. Going to do a water change to help but am looking for fish to help with it as well. Whats reef safe and suitable for 55? I have a small sail fin tang which doesn't touch it currently

I thought I’d ID’ed this stuff as Licmophora sp. but now that I’ve let it grow out, I’m not so sure. It’s a brown-ish white looking feather protruding from the live rock in mostly high light intensity areas and emerging from what looks like existing algae. Salinity: 1.025 Temp: 78.6 Ammonia: 0...

After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you keep believing that nitrate and phosphate are the cause of your algae problems. You take the red pill - I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. This image was created by @Fish_Sticks, ©2019, All Rights...

Afternoon reefers... I upgraded my Fluval Evo to a 60 gallon long AIO back in August when we moved to a new house. I battled nutrients and algae (every kind) over the year that the Evo was running, mostly due to the fact I was new to reefing and made ALL of the rookie mistakes, some over and...

I have GHA beginning to overrun my tank. It is not as bad as other infestations I have seen, and I want to get ahead of it. I have tried manually removing it, but that doesn’t really work. You can’t get it all off and it just grows back. After reading about success using Fluconazole, I thought I...

I have been on this forum for awhile. Mainly for to ask questions about reefing b/c I didn’t have a clue and over the course of 10 months, I have learned a lot about this hobby and I like it. Around Oct 21, 2017 I setup a biocube 32 led.(all stock) I wanted 4 clownfish in my tank and some other...

Good morning all... I've been dealing with a GHA problem for a few months. My tank is an IM40. I run a single AI Prime HD (which probably isn't enough?) for 10 hours a day, but 2 hour of ramp up each way so only full strength for 6 hours. I have a filter sock in one overflow and a sponge...

I haven't been thrilled with my tank for a while. My corals don't seem to grow, just limp along for 4-6 months then die. So I decided they weren't getting enough of something. Tried using BRS 2-part. Nope. Tried allowing nutrients in the tank to rise and... guess what? The corals are STILL...

Hi All, I know this topic has been played out a million times, and I feel like I've read 20 different threads and watched 50 different youtube videos about how to get rid of Green Hair Algae (GHA), but since I value the expertise and input of folks on R2R, I thought I would ask for your advice...

Hi everyone, I have several montiporas, a pocillipora, two bizarro, and an a can that seem to be slowly withering away on me. They were doing well for awhile and had growth, but now they’re tissue seems to be receding starting primarily at their bases and then working up. I have a hair algae...

Been having a green hair algae problem for about 6 months now. Where is a good website to order Fluconazole from ?

I have 220 gallon main tank + 60g tank & 80g sump all connected for total of ~350g system, mostly fish. I have probably 30 fish between 2 tanks, small number of corals. I never had any nuisance algae problems until I added 4xT5's to my Orbit Pro Marine LEDs and GHA seemed to sprout like weeds...

For the record, there is no "cure" for algae as it's not a disease. That's the only reason the word "cure" is in the title. :) Now for HOW to spot-treat algae! (More about "why" after the how...) Fill a small syringe with 1-2 mL of regular hydrogen peroxide Shut off all flow and wait for the...

I think my tank suffered from lack of nitrates. I was dealing with some GHA and always testing zero for NO3 and PO4. I think my nitrates were actually too low, but the phosphates were used by the GHA. A few weeks back I dosed a few capfuls of Seachem flourish nitrogen over a few days, but then I...

Hello All, I have newly established RSM E 170 that is just over a month old. I know this subject has been beat to death but I am very frustrated with the explosion of GHA in my tank. Currently my Phospates are at .08ppm and Nitrates are at 0. These levels have remained constant for a week...

I’m kinda new to this hobby. I have a 55 gallon tank that I’ve had for about 2 years maybe 2 and a half now. For the first year everything in the tank looked beautiful and never had any problems. I moved out of my parents house and took the tank with me. While the tank was at my moms house I...

I am curious to get input on how well my GBTA will do under actinic lighting ONLY for a few days and then acclimate her, yes her (hehehehe), back up to the whites. I am trying to get rid of GHA, what little bit I have before it takes control. OR any suggestions on how to get rid of it? I know...

Within past 3 months I’ve had issues with GHA. It’s gone progressively worse since I added T5 to my LED. T5’s only run at peak 3 hrs. Ive shut them off since and have reduced LED intensity (Marine Orbit Pro) but GHA has been slowly spreading. It’s not huge but definitely annoying. I have hermits...

I'm creating this thread to keep track of my progress using fluconazole to get rid of the green hair algae in my 24 gal cube. I posted a different thread looking for help on this and was given two suggestions: use fluc or do a LOT of scrubbing. I live in an apartment and don't have a lot of...

Hello all, First, let me apologize if all of this has been answered in other posts. I am planning on beginning my 2 week dosing cycle and I wanted to confirm that I am doing everything correctly, so please by all means save me from myself. I have a 29 gallon Biocube, so I am planning on...
