For those who dose Nitrates and Phosphates...a question

[Randy Holmes-Farley Verified Community Expert]

I also have to dose or I get the brown slime stuff. I have this very rough algae on the glass. The magnetic scrapper sounds like sand paper ! I have to use a razor scraper on it. I have since cut back on dosing to see what happens. Good luck finding a good balance .

What do you dose that prevents a brown slime?

Good Morning Randy, I had no measurable No3/Po4's. I started dosing stump remover & flourish. As soon as I had some color to the tests The brown slimy stuff went away. I also beefed up the cuc . I also had Ha all over etc. It's much better now. However as stated I develops this tough/rough light green algae on the glass.

Might the brown slime have been dinos?
