Hi, I have a 90 reef that is doing very well. I have a nice mixed reef garden consisting of SPS, LPS a Clam and some softies. For over a year now I have been struggling with a floresent green kind of slime algae/Cano. Not bad but on some rocks/areas and consistently on a few corals (Cap) in spots.
I tried everything including water changes, phosphate removers, frequent carbon changes and the like. Nothing registers on a test kit and nothing seems to help much. It has always kind of frustrated me. I had it through 2 sets of metal halide bulbs, 10k Reeflux and 10k XMs.
I switched to 14k Hamiltons less than a week ago and I noticed this algae has really started to decline. It is almost completely gone. Nothing else seems to have changed so I am hopeing I am onto something.
Thanks
Andrew
