I have almost gotten mine under control. I went 2 weeks of actinic only after a 3 day lights out. Lots of carbon and lots of scrubbing helped. I have also started dosing more Alk as that seemed to be depleted rapidly during the worst of the outbreak.

I was using Kalkwasser before but did not seem to be maintaining the ALK properly.
So many different kinds out there but PM me if you need a detailed rundown of the fight.
100 gallon setup with 432 watts of T-5 lighting.

Good luck to anyone fighting this aggravation.
