Hi,
I have a 7 month old reef and am struggling with a red algae that is just taking over!
My water tests fine, nitrates and phosphates all under control. I am running a good downdraft skimmer, Rowaphos in a kent phosreactor, 2 x 250w MH lights.
Live stock includes a clown fish, lawnmower blenny, rabbit fish and 3 blue/green chromies. I also have 4 good size turbo snails, but they dont touch the stuff!
This algae can gro in dense thick clumps, sometimes up to 4 iches in diameter.
Any ideas what it is, and how do I attack it? Or do I just wait it out?
Thanks
