Brightwell salt and Algae

[LISound]

Anyone experience a peach fuzz like algae when using his salt neo marine?

I used a bag of it a year ago and got what i have now. I just switched from IO to try a bucket of his salt. Sorry to say, the same light peach fuzz algae is back. it's the only change I've made to the system.

I use 100% brightwell on my system and dont have any issues at all.

Are you using 0 TDS RODI water to mix with the salt??

 

[troyman]

used it once magnesium and calcium is low like reef crystals better

 

[LISound]

yes 0 tds and 0.00 po4. the tank is pretty empty.
except for the peach fuzz. now wondering if it is bacteria or something else.

Been using it for around 3 years now and haven't had a problem. Did you slowly switch salts or just went from IO to BW Neo Marine?

just switched. it's really only on the rocks now, not growing on the glass. maybe a small nutrient spike of something.

I did have a problem with his salt a few years ago, growing this red/brown crap in the mixing bucket. It was allegedly vitamins.
I don't see that now, so I'm sure that's all sorted out.
