Crash Aftermath

[levibaur]

I had a tank crash a couple months ago due to a bad whole house water filter that disrupted everything and caused a huge problem with brown cyano and bryopsis. Ive since then cleared the issue and now its back. Brown and red cyano, with hair algae and a little bit of bryopsis. Have had some cristata and all my monti caps melt. I’ll attach some info down below. I have used almost two bottles of Anti-Red and that cleared it up but it’s back now. Can anybody help me with this? I can attach photos or info for any other necessary information. Thanks

Also, what is your source water? Ideally you should be using RODI water only. You mentioned an issue with your whole house water filter, but if you had an RODI unit then a failure of the whole house filter wouldn’t matter as the RODI would still clean it up.

If you are using tap water (even tap water that has passed through your whole house filter) that is likely a big part of your problem.
