Hello, people.
I've had this algae on the display for 3 months now.
Last month I brought a fish without QT and got ICH on the display, so right now I have removed all fish to a QT tank and have only coral, rocks and two shrimps on the main.
I took half the rocks away for a "cooking" procedure to get rid of the algae.
But I had to leave those because I need the tank running and also because I don't want to kill the mushes living on them (is there a way to remove them from the rocks without killing them?).
So, I don't feed for a month. PO4 is 8 ppb according to the digital tester. My RO DI is 10ppb, so i'll stay around that.
Why does this algae keeps growing?
Please help me.
