Can you post a pic of your algae?

Is there bubble formation on the strands of growth?

You might need to shut off flow to get good pics.

From the given photos, some spots looks dino-ish and some looks greener and hairy-er.

How do you think your scenario matches up compared to the info on the dino thread? (i.e. nutrient limiting and all that)

Im believe so. Its stringy brown had aor bubbles in it. I had my pumps off lol, i read the fresh water killed the so i used a turkey baster and hit them with rodi water. It killed them and didnt come back on the rocks i treated.

If it worked, then keep trying that – keep posting your results too. I'm not aware of anyone having tried this before.

I'd still recommend checking out the dino sticky at the top of this forum's thread list....the first post is packed with info, including some tests you can do to help narrow down what algae you have.
