Hi all and thanks in advance on identifying this algae for me! I think there are two types as per photos!
tank is a year old, 75gal
Sal:1.026
KH:8.2dKH
Phosphates:0.08
Ph:8.2
Nitrate: 0
Lights are Kessil a360x with controller and schedule of 10h light/ 14h dark.
Had a high phosphate lvl problem two weeks ago when phosphates reached 0.5!
Did couple of water changes, add cheato and phosphate removal from saecham. After that I noticed two spots of encrusting algae/sponge.
It is not slimey, really hard.. same as coralline. Couple of days later noticed my rock starting to get dark… some parts are completely black.
please help if and what to do!
