Broseff Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I'm currently running a 3 gallon (3 gallon-ish, probably closer to 2 gallons in terms of water) macro tank. I originally had SOME green hair algae, after like a month. But, recently it has taken off and it's everywhere. The macros have mostly been fine despite all the GHA growth. My codium is pretty much a goner, I've taken it out. Everything else (Halimeda, Shaving Brush, Gracilaria) has been growing very well, even when covered in GHA. I also have Branching coralline, but idk how it's really doing. I spent maybe 4-5 hours today removing all the GHA from my macros and the rocks (Mostly. I didn't want to physically remove the rocks, so I didn't get everything). I also have a chiton and a few nerites (zebra and virgin nerites) that eat it, but there slow eaters. What can I do to prevent the GHA from consuming my tank again (There's also some bubble algae growing, but I'm less worried about that)? I'm definetly gonna avoid dosing for a bit, except for maybe some bacteria. But what else can be done? Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Keep up on the manual removal and add a couple more herbivorous snails. 1 Quote Link to comment
