Couldn't grow mille for spit.
Started running Phosban and skimming wet.
My system: a 52g corner bow with 75 lbs live rock, 4" aragonite, 250 mh 10000k 2 actinics, sea swirl, and way too much caulerpa, which is now going out, thanks to fish. Way too much film algae, which is also going, thanks to Phosban.
Never thought I had phosphate. Ran the test. Negative. Ha. When film algae ran wild I said to myself, screw the test, there's phosphate in there somewhere.
So I ran a lot of Phosban, taking care to keep my ph up.
And the strawberry mille which I have had for 6 months without a bit of growth has grown 1/4 inch since 3 weeks ago. The digitata that has grown like a weed has slowed down. Take your pick. Possibly it loves phosphate.
