I need advice on what to do prior to stacking my aquscape on a new Nuvo 100 INT.
I upgraded to a Nuvo 100 from a Reefer 250. I have had these tube worm, algae things all over my rock for a long time. I was dosing Vibrant and it seemed to go away but i'm not sure what it is and how to eradicate...
Hey everyone,
I noticed my large Goni is receding and was wondering if this can be caused by Vibrant? Have horrible bubble algae on my 310g (emerald crab) won’t work since it’s all up and down the back wall and glass on one side.
Hello Reefing Community
Im looking for knowledge or some one who can help.
I tought my tank was doing great, i tought my tank was full of coraline algae. A wired looking coraline algae.
it looks a bit more red or violet.
it has a different kind of texture, almost as a sponge but a bit...
So I have been dosing vibrant for the past three weeks for my bubble algae. I don’t have a huge infestation, but enough and tough to reach places that manual removal just was not cutting it. I had done some research and decide to use vibrant however, I am seeing very mixed discussions when it...
So my tanks been fallow for nearly 2 months and I am having quite the noticeable bubble algae issue. I have been carbon dosing for 2 years and love it but I notice that some methods change a bit because of the added bacteria populations caused from carbon dosing.
The issue and question is since...
Hey everyone, I have been battling this stubborn algae in my tank for the past two years, and I want to finish it. I haven't been consistent with my treatments, which is probably why most of it is still here.
Catch up on the progress from the previous thread about it...
Does anyone have an idea what this could be? I have had them pop up on the past and I thought it was Dino’s, but it disappeared for a while and now has made its way back, but now more than ever. Should I dose vibrant? Thank you!
This is interesting, but includes a lot of speculation, which I've tried to make clear.
A. Test Method: Possibly Measuring a Polyquat Algaecide in Reef Tank Water (tracking Vibrant dose)
(almost. Kinda, but not really.)
B. Hypothesis: The algaecide in question is a cationic polymer, which...
Hello,
I started dosing and I'm in my 2nd week of dosing. I know it takes time to clear my tank, but I have noticed the hair algae seems like its getting worse? Is this a thing, like does the problem get worse before better? I have noticed the tips of the hair algae turning white which is a...
Hi All,
I am at the 6 week mark of dosing vibrant for bubble algae and it has done a great job. Enjoying less buildup on the glass for sure and BA is almost gone.
I had my chaeto in a separate tank and have read about it could be better to start with fresh chaeto to prevent reintroduction...
I do daily automatic water changes (1.5 gallons) on my 90 gallon with 20 gallon sump, I have a bad GHA outbreak and bought vibrant, my question is will the daily water changes make the vibrant less effective or not effective at all? Has anyone used vibrant while doing daily water changes with...
Does anyone know if you can use Red Sea Nopox while using Vibrant to get rid of hair algae. I recently changed my lights from T5s to LED and can’t seem to get hair algae under control. My fish are in Quarantine because of ich and have been out of the display for 60 days. I plan on putting them...
Many of us with refugiums and macroalgae use Vibrant occasionally to tackle a troublesome nuisance algae outbreak. You're supposed to take your macroalgae out before you dose Vibrant. However, it's unclear (at least to me) how long after last Vibrant dose you can put the macroalgae back in...
summary: I successfully eliminated bubble algea using vibrant. I slowly ramped up my dose from 2ml per week up to 5ml per week. It's taken three months but the bubble algae is finally gone. I think I'm going to slowly ramp down the dose over the next month or two. I have read that vibrant act...
I dosed Vibrant several times with some good results, but algae still grows. I know it will look great over time, but long term will not solve my nutrient issues. I know managing a refugium is going to be a better solution long-term. I did not realize how detrimental it was to Macroalgae and...
I have been using vibrant for about 4 weeks now, it honestly doesn’t seem like it is doing anything, this algae is spreading at an alarming rate and I can not get rid of it, what type of algae might this be? And also does vibrant actually work or is it a gimmick?
I use RO/DI water so that’s not...

So my question is simple, would you use Vibrant in a newly set up Frag Tank? Would/Could you even add it before there is a sign of Algae?
Some background; I am in the process of setting up a 20 gallon long quarantine/frag tank to hold my monti frags while I deal with the dreaded montipora...
I am thinking about dosing my 125gallon tank with vibrant but it is new to me.
i have been spot dosing hair algae with peroxide and it seems to be working for me. I was thinking about vibrant to clean that issue up and also clean my rock up a little. When dosing with vibrant do you turn off any...
