gha

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...

I too have been struggling with SPS STN. I have been chasing numbers and trying to attack this from all angles. It keeps coming down to this: If I try to balance the nutrients, I get a hair algae outbreak. Here are my numbers: alk 8.6 CA 390 MAG 1470 PO4 .ZERO NO3 5 SALINITY 1.022 TEMP 78.2...

I setup a new refugium a couple months ago. New, store bought substrate. Heavily rinsed. Used Tupperware to protect glass from mangrove roots. Added power head to increase flow because I noticed chaeto was dying. Chaeto nearly gone now. Today: green hair algae over growing dragon's...

Ive read multiple threads on the Vibrant cleaner and Ive also talked to people in my local reefing group. Everyone seemed to have a good experience with it but I still didnt want to try it until it circulated more. What finally convinced me was when i talked to my LFS owner and he told me that...

My 110 has been running for about 6 months now. I started strong with low nutrients and very little algae growth, but with the addition of some sps, I stopped vodka dosing so the nutrients would go up. So at this point I have a tank that has enough corals in it that aren't doing well (I've...
