Outbreak is an understatement. I've been having an issue for some time with a single rock and spreading algae, but the birth of my first child has taken priority over dealing with it. Needless to say, I put it off, and now there is a lot of it in the tank. Hundreds of spores and it is now on multiple rocks.
I removed a lot of the affected rock two weeks ago and manually removed most of the spores then rinsed in tank water before replacing. That seemed to work at first, but now I think I have more spores than before.
I have cut back on feeding and light schedules, but it hasn't done anything.
What do I do? Hydrogen peroxide dip the rocks? Additives? Scrub again? I also have a small rock with a torch coral frag on it and the bubbles are starting to overtake. How should I remedy to make sure it isn't hurt? Coral RX?
I'm a beginner and struggling here! My coral is hurting. Thanks for any help!
