Hi Travis...yes, I agree that it won't help get rid of the original problem, but keeping the rock clean certainly will go a long way towards not fueling further outbreaks. Those PURA pads are amazing if you've never tried them. They really do help pull the nasties out of the water...most people can't believe what comes out on the pad everyday. If not removed, all you do is keep cycling the fuel back into the system, as I know you are aware as I've read many of your posts and you are a very knowledgable hobbyist. 27 years into this and I finally feel like I'm getting a handle on things and just trying to pass on some additional ideas Everyone here has given excellent advice and info...and feeding the sea hare nori afterwards is a great idea...most will readily accept it. Hair algae is certainly no fun!! GL, Marcye

Hopefully finally doing water changes with water under 700tds will make a big difference. The LFS water I was buying was 700tds, the RO?DI water I am going to make will be under 20, I trully hope this makes all the difference!
