I've been having a problem with GHA for many months now. I cannot figure it out and it is really annoying. It grows over corals and just looks plain ugly. I have been trying to manually remove some of it, but that never seems like it helps anything. I bought more snails to see if that helped but it didn't. I also purchased a kole tang, hoping it would eat all of it. Fortunately he eats none of it :rolleyes:
I have a fuge going with chaeto in it along with a phosban reactor and running carbon and a skimmer 24/7. I cannot figure out what is causing this algae break out...
My nitrates tested to be 20ppm, which normally they were 0 back in the good days of a smooth running tank. I really don't know what bumped the trates though. I kept everything the same. The TDS on the RODI water is comming out 0. The other filters on the RODI unit are about 6 months old so it is time for a replacement. I ordered the filters today. I don't think that has anything to do with it though since the GHA came around months ago.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm just really frustrated and stumped at the moment :confused:
Thanks in advance.
