Gha>>>b/w ha

[JimON]

Hi all.

My tank has been running about a month cycled. Saturday I added some chaeto (first time) to the fuge in hopes of reducing the growing GHA problem I had. Nitrates do not register, (API), so I am assuming that the GHA was sucking them all up, and hoped this would aid the issue. Yesterday I did about a 30% water change. Today I got home to find most of the GHA had turned brown or white. Does this mean it is dying? If so, does it vanish, or is manual removal needed? Thanks!

yes its dying and will more than likely go away on its own..

Great, thank you.

I still suggest manual removal.

Yeah if its easy to get to then yep.. scrub it down/pull it out or whatever..
export whatever nutrients are left in it..

You certainly don't have to manually remove it..
It will/should disappear on its own given time/cuc eating it,etc....

I think maybe I will throw in a couple more hermits and a turbo snail or 2. They will probably do a better job of it than me anyway. Thank you!
