I have been experiencing a massive phytoplankton bloom over the past few weeks after doing a big clean of my rocks
This has gotten so bad to the point of reducing my tanks visibility to < 3" and is starting to take a toll on my mainly photosynthetic corals
I have tried big water changes but they multiply at an crazy rate
I do not trust algaecide or uv treatment as I have heard many stories of it crashing tanks and I try to avoid additives like that
I was waiting until I moved today because I don't want to stress a new crustacean. I broke down my tank and realized how bad they were doing
Picked this guy up for $20 and he immediately responded to the drip acclimation and is having the time of his life
Didn't even wait until I sat him down to open up
I've started running carbon to help bring my phosphates down more
I wonder how long itll take this guy could clear something as crazy as this
I need to vacuum this but hopefully the detritus will just settle back where it was
