I have, so to speak, been playing with the AlgaeFix so far. I have completed 10 doses (missed a couple of days here and there from my schedule). Once my back squares away, I will give it a good cleaning

I cleaned the pest (I believe is a green cyanobacteria) from some of my rock (not all). The areas which I cleaned are now pest free and back to rock. The cancerous algae is beginning to cover those areas.

The areas I did not clean the rock, still have pest problems. The pest is discolored, but still growing much slower. One of the areas is the rock with the Halimeda on it. This green pest of mine grows well on it and is very difficult to get off.

The red cyano on the sand and some rocks is not being affected by the AlgaeFix like the green pest I have. I have not cleaned it up since I started the AlgaeFix dosing though.

All the occupants are quite happy. Since I switched to 20,000 K Radons, my RBTA is looking great compared to the 10,000 K I was running.
