Took this video with flash to try and make the video more white. Let me know what you think.Before determining, please post pics under white lighting as it may be bryopsis - The reason CUC arent touching it.
Kind of looks like bryopsis, but either way, Fluconzanole will eliminate it. Just watch your nitrates and phosphates, they may or may not rise.Took this video with flash to try and make the video more white. Let me know what you think.
Sounds good. Going to order it today and get to microdosing. From what I’ve read online about it, it seems like microdosing every couple months should just be added to the maintenance routine as a prevention.Kind of looks like bryopsis, but either way, Fluconzanole will eliminate it.

Once you get it under control you may not have to again, but you'll have it on hand if you ever need it again. In a year I have dosed twice, it came in on corals. I dose once and let it sit in the tank for 3 weeks before I do a water change. I dose All for Reef and everything remained stable during that time.Sounds good.

Thanks for your advice, I really appreciate it!Once you get it under control you may not have to again, but you'll have it on hand if you ever need it again.

Yes! I love my sea hare. I feed him supplemental nori weekly to make sure he has enough to eat but he keeps my tank very clean. I love these! Eat all kinds of algae that other fish wont touch. This is FrankThe rock in question. And the tuxedo urchin avoiding said rock.
Frank is awesome! Have you had any issues with him getting near/ stuck on wavemakers?Yes! I love my sea hare. I feed him supplemental nori weekly to make sure he has enough to eat but he keeps my tank very clean. I love these! Eat all kinds of algae that other fish wont touch. This is Frank
I dont think this is bryopsis which is thick and Fern-like and looks more like overgrown hair algae. Flux while sometimes works is an alternative and not a solution and can impact certain coral. Chemicals are not always the answer.Took this video with flash to try and make the video more white. Let me know what you think.

I would place rock in a container of tank water and pull off as much as you can by hand and scrub the rest with a firm toothbrush and some 3% hydrogen peroxide.
Return to tank, reduce white light intensity and number of hours of white lighting and add some snails such as :
Astrea
cerith
turbo grazer
trochus
A Pencil urchin
8-10 Caribbean blue leg hermits
Are you using RODI water or tap water from the faucet ?
What is your phosphate level?
Is tank at or near a window?
My suspect why I asked again is the window. The power of uv is strong and will penetrate shades-blinds-curtains and even indirect lighting will cause this. Placing a sheet of black construction paper from walmart stationary section on side facing window will reduce this drasticallyThere are currently
- 4 astrea snails
- 2 Mexican turbos
- 4 green speckled turbos
- 3 trochus
- 10 blue legs
- 15 cerith
- 8 larger ceriths
- 1 tuxedo urchin
- 1 tiger conch
Using RODI water from LFS
Phosphate level last tested 0.05
Tank near window but blinds are closed.
What do you think of combination of manual removal and reef flux?
Interesting, didn’t think it would do that. That is the only rock in the tank that receives any sunlight at all when the shades are open too. Thanks.My suspect why I asked again is the window.

Removed the rock tonight during my 10% water change. Gave it a good scrub with a toothbrush and got most of the algae off. Hopefully my clean up crew can finish the job now.My suspect why I asked again is the window.
