Algae help

[COwCOw]

My tank just turned 7 months old a couple of days ago and for 2-4 weeks this algae has taken over my tank, Is there any way to reduce/get rid of this algae as of its causing my coral to never pop out I've coral dipped the coral for algae and cleaned some of the rocks and it still came back should I do a blackout if so does anyone have any suggestions for youtube videos on how to do it safely and I am making sure my corals are regularly fed and doing frequent water changes.

This could be Dinos, I get this when my nitrates and phosphates are out of balance but there are many reasons for these types of outbreaks, could be solved with dosing bacteria or fluconazole

Ok thank you! I'll try to dose bacteria but what bacteria brand/product would you suggest?

I suggest microbacter7 I believe they use 7 different strains of bacteria to combat a slew of different tasks

Good luck reefer, I hope this helps. I would also track the po4 and no3 numbers, just to rule that out too

Alright how frequent should I be testing for those?

Well that depends, if you monitor them each week and your not seeing any fluctuations then I would say 1-2 times a month but if your seeing a lot of ups and downs then I recommend testing 1-3 times a week till you can adjust your nutrient import and export to achieve more stability.
