Hey everyone!
Been a while ......
My tank was doing well but I've suffered some set backs. I went on 3 different trips this summer and had to have people watch my tank. First trip was fine but on the second the person watching the tank didn't realize a breaker tripped until she saw some corals and fish not looking so well. I'm still not sure exactly which ones it was but I believe it was the Tunze pumps, chiller and skimmer. It has never happened for me since I set the tank up, go figure.
Anyway, I lost a few of my center piece size acro's, yellow tang, six line, royal Gramma, cleaner shrimp, cb shrimp, plus other stuff. But my wild clowns, blue tang, manderin, lm Blenny and a bunch of other stuff did survive.
Now though I am battling a very bad outbreak of green hair algae. I'm working on getting it out, scrubbing what I can, running a phosban reactor and I'm trying a natural route with a Sea Hare and Lettuce nudi.
Well, now for the question
,
I have some corals that did survive, I cut off the parts that bleached and they seem to be holding their own. My problem is that some GHA has started growing on a few pieces and I'm not sure what I can do to get it off.
Can I pull the pieces out of the tank and scrub them with a tooth brush? Is there a dip that might help? I hate to have them start to pull through just to have the algae kill them off.
any help would be appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Greg
