Thats a huge range for po4 actually lol did you use a hanna, as it is measured in .XX as .00 to .10 is a massive expanse lol

API kit. Not 100% at 0.0 but not 0.25 either what kit would you recommend?

I put a turbo snail in my Nuvo 10 and he's mowing it down like crazy! I did move a couple loose corals to my other tank because I heard they knock corals over but now I'm worried I won't have enough hair algae to feed my snail!

A hanna would be exact. ..

A .15 would harbor alot of gha and explain alot

I would recommend getting the Hanna ULR Phosphorus checker. It is more sensitive to lower ranges. Most places have comparable prices. BRS would be my suggestion as you would earn points [emoji846]

Update: Been doing ALOT of manual labor pulling it out of tank and it is definitely getting thinner and stringier. I add PhosRX to the tank as well as fluconozole. I think I'm heading in the right direction finally

I got myself a sea hare, he's polishing it off no problem! And he's pretty cool looking!

Hope it's as successful for you as it was for me. I did not do any manual removal first.

I got it from https://www.payless-petproducts.com/ , no script needed.

I've used this before too Brian from the same supply I recommend it but follow the instructions listed for best results.

Water changes, manual removal, cuc, blow of rocks to get detritus, and you can add a macro algae reactor. Those are the steps I took for my DT and it is coming along nicely. However I don't use a reactor for my ten gal, I just do the other things and I am getting the same results. Are you using R/O with a tds meter? I recently cleaned my mixing station and equipment and I think that helped a lot. Trial and error rinse and repeat.
