OK purchased! Saturday I do a water change and I delete the coals!
and I put a 150 mg capsule!
then the next water change when I do?

In 14 days. Turn down or turn off skimmer, do not use Purigen, mix medication in cup of tank water then put in tank in front of high flow at night. Now wait 14 days.

Gook luck!

Didn't use it long enough or dosage too low.
Algae Fix is for freshwater, Marine Algae Fix for saltwater.

I used marine and it was useless on my gha.

I think @d2mini was going to have his water tested but I don't know if he has yet.

Tank update day 21. It's been one week sense doing my water change and adding carbon. Happy to say any gha that was left in my tank is either dead or very close to dead. Even with removing the meds it still seems to be withering away any remaining gha, either that or my cuc is doing some serious work. The timing of this treatment couldn't of come better I was about to do a serious upgrade to my filtration and really wanted to beat the algae before hand. I was successful in doing this and installed the upgrade last Thursday. I'm sure the new system is upping the results but I couldn't be happier to have my tank back I'll post another before picture for reference but I think it's safe to say I have beat my gha!

Day 1:

Today, day 21 one week after removal

Anemone still doing great:

And finally the upgrade I was thrilled to install algae free!!

Can you find an Italian that can read and translate English for you?

Is it safe to do water change an clean some of the brown off the rocks?

drernesto · Mar 8, 2017

Thanks!

If your algae is gone then I would go ahead with your water change.

Thanks! A lot of work went into that upgrade and I'm already seeing the difference.

It's hard to tell from that pic. Do you see any fern/fan looking blades on it?

WOW! Super impressive! What day did you start noticing big changes in GHA? I'm on day 8. You did not do a second dose, correct?

Now if I could just find a solution to my thick wiry turf algae I'd be set!

I started to really see the gha start dying off in the second week. And the last couple days it was really kicking its butt. I only dosed once but a little heavy 4000ml in my 125 or 20 pills. I didn't run my skimmer,uv,carbon, or Gfo during the full treatment. Skimmer was on but not collecting. I would think you should start seeing your gha start greying out soon. It just withers away and dies. Once it gets really white you can hit it with a toothbrush and it just disangrates.
