Anyone experience algea outbreaks with 2 part BIonic?

[alazo1]

Just wondering since the calcium part seems to have other trace elements such as iron. I have a 29g biocube and getting hair algea but is more then likely due to other things (oyster feast, purple tech and probably too much feeding.

thanks,
Albert

I suspect the problem is the food. A 2-part won't feed algae by itself, although a bit of iron can help with macroalgae growth.

I don't think that B-ionic or most two parts are associated with algae problems.

Adding iron as a supplement, for example, does not usually spur microalgae noticeably in most reef tanks, although it does help many species of macroalgae. When I first added iron, the hair algae growing on the macroalgae declined and the macroalgae grew faster.

Um nope. I will say I had it before dosing B ionic but nothing related. Just bad LR and I didn't cure it. But it fixed that prob long ago.

So no complaints with B ionic.
