| Manta Ray ![]() | So, the concensus on the red algea was a red hair algea, red hair algea typically does not have the long strands of regular hair algea and it was more mat like. Nevertheless i added a phosphate reactor and some rowa=phos and purigen in it. after a few days of this and shortening the photo period i added some Mexican Turbos. Well since then the algea is over 50% gone already!!!! I had always tested for phosphates but they were always undetectable, i guess this was a good reality check. All levels still great and corals look healthier than ever and i am happy to see all rock and no algea. ![]() |

| The Wand Geek was here. ;) ![]() | Re: Winning the War on Red Algea Water changes using ro/di water and add some phosphate removing media (phosban or rowaphos). Using a small reactor (twolittlefishes) for the media works wonderfully ![]() Also incorporating a refugium filled with macro alage (cheatomorpha) and using a good skimmer help to remove po4 & disolved orgaincs.
