Finally made it to the lake house. Super long drive. Not feeling too well, hoping it's just because I am tired and not Covid.

Ok can we talk about how to kill brush algea? Would a refugium help? It's getting worse in my tank. The Lawnmower Blenny is helping with what sometimes gets on the glass but it's also on the rocks. I have tried to pull off as much as I can but I can't get to all of it. Also how do you guys clean your wavemakers I take mine out and scrub them with a toothbrush and a green scrubby but there are places I can't get to.

How long do you soak them? I will have to try the citric acid.

Ummm maybe ? Let me go look at a picture of what that looks like...

 

[Calmwaters]

Yes that's it! Turf algea.

I will have to check them tomorrow as I'm already laying down. The only thing that was off last time I checked was Magnesium but I added that to it.

Ok, I have never dealt with turf algae so hopefully someone who has will chime in. I believe both urchins and emerald crabs will eat it but like gha you’ll probably need to keep it trimmed down. If you want to go the chemical route I think Reef Flux will take care of it but it might come back if the root cause isn’t dealt with. This suggestion is an unknown but when I had gha dosing hydrogen peroxide helped tremendously. Take all I said with a grain of salt as I have not dealt with it.
