It's worked well on bubble algae. I didn't stick with it long enough for my red turf algae.

I believe there are multiple threads on vibrant, unfortunately I don't have the links but I know they are there, and people have put their experiences

I tried it and it had absolutely no effect on my tank at all.

it works, but maybe to good. I usually scrape my glass every day. It has been 2 weeks and my glass is still doesn't need to be scraped.

I really didn't have any coralline algae because this was in a temporary tank. There was no ill effect on softies or LPS but it did make the few digis pale.
I had great results. Tank has never looked better. Won't make up for bad husbandry but completely riddled my tank of my splotchy hair algae that nothing else seemed to touch. I already had a little cyno and it seemed to exasperate it but finished off with a little chemi clean after I stopped using the vibrance. Tank has renamed algae and cyno free for a couple of months now.

Wiped out bubble algae. Took 2-3 months Dosed 2 times per week. Now dosing once every two weeks. I highly endorse it.

Just be sure to export the nutrients that the dying algae is adding to the water.

I have a 90g that the live rock came from a badly managed tank. The tank was full of hair algae, the water was very cloudy, almost to where you could not see anything in the tank. When the rocks were moved, the water turned brown, looking like coffee.
For a few years after put in use, this tank has always had algae issues, until I launched an ATS in 2014. I did not have hair algae since then, but the ATS is small, and able to keep the HA away, but I still get surface algae on the back wall, overflow box, etc. The waterline also gets a muddy feeling film, almost sludge like.
I used this Vibrant product one week, and it knocked out all of this. I had placed my ATS screen in the sump of my 150g so it would not be affected. It was very impressed how well it worked. I put my ATS back to work, and now the tank looks better than ever.

Good point about coralline... it's algae too, only encrusting. So make sense that it might get knocked out.
this stuff is pretty damn good. i been dosing maybe 2wks and clearly is working. Definitely did not think about the export of the dying HA nutrients. now i know why my parameters are off some. just did a water change and took a handful of chaeto out. it has no effect on my chaeto or choralline algae either. im actually after 4months,starting to see a huge growth of it. i can not wait til it is all over my rocks.
