Hi everyone :)
Long time lurking first time posting. This is my first reef tank and it's been up for about 2-3 months. So, fairly new and still stabilising I'm guessing.
I understand algae, diatom blooms etc are completely normal especially in new tanks but I'm a little worried about this algae in particular. It's thick and stringy and almost looks like it has a mind of it's own.
I've tried to clean as much of it as possible but it keeps growing back.
I'm only specifically worried because to me it doesn't look normal (although what would, I am completely new after all) :lolspin:
At the advice of my lfs, I'm dosing 6ml nopox and also dosing reef energy.
My water params are where they should be (tested at my lfs) although my nitrates are at 10ppm.
Should I just let it run it's course or is there something I should do while it's in it's early stages?
Thanks :)
