When I set up my first reef tank a few years ago, I battled cyano and hair algae up until I accidently overdosed kalk and turned my tank into a blizzard. After about 2 days things settled down and much to my surprise the water quality drastically improved. After that the corraline went crazy and apparently drove off all the nuisance algae. Is there any science to that and I was thinking about my new tank I have set up. I just got done cycling the tank and am starting too see hair algae on the new rock. Would there be any benefit to intentionally precipating the tank before I start to add livestock or was it just coincidence the previous time?
