Biocubelife Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I’m noticing some browning or algae growth on my monti. It’s been there since squirted a little reef roids on it. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment
Aurortpa Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Like a dusting of diatoms? Try turkey bastering it off, short strong bursts. Quote Link to comment

Aurortpa Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Mmm was the food cold? Doesn’t really appear to be algae if it’s those brown parts in the middle. Quote Link to comment

Cannedfish Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 Just curious, how much reef roids did you use and what did you mix it with? Also did you feed it with the pumps off, and if so how long did you leave them off? Quote Link to comment

I turned off the fans but left them off for three hours on accident cause i forgot. . Quote Link to comment

Aurortpa Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Mmm then I’d be patient, watch it carefully, and make sure it doesn’t further deteriorate. I wouldn’t change location but would definitely give it a bit more flow. 1 Quote Link to comment
Biocubelife Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Looks like that was just the beginning. GHA outbreak! Been dealing with this lovely issue lately. Added some phosguard and a new chemipure elite. Quote Link to comment
