I've been following this thread along and wanted to pass along my experience. I've done about 5 doses, and it has definitely helped a bad algae problem. Throughout the treatment I still ran my skimmer, gfo and carbon, but the Algae fix still seemed to work for me. I have not seen any ill effects on fish or corals. The only drawback so far is that it has all but killed off my chaeto that I have had for several years. I do still have a few tufts of hair algae, but nothing compared to what I had before, and I do have a bit of a cyano outbreak right now. Just wondering, would killing off a rather large amount of algae in a tank over a fairly short period of time raise phosphates in the tank at the same time by the die off?
