Hey everyone, I've been battling what i believe to be GHA but it's too small to remove manually. It's just tall enough to bother my corals like zoas and leptos.

Is there anything I can do to remove? I run Chaeto, Skimmer, GFO, Activated Carbon, NoPox. I'm assuming it's just my nitrates that need to go down but like how can i bring it down quickly, i barely feed as it stands. I ramped up the chaeto intensity and time period just a few days ago hoping that will help slowly.

Alk: 8.0
Ca: 420
No3: 5-10
Phosphorus: 3ppb

The nitrates don’t seem too bad. Plenty of people have those levels and do fine.

You can always pick up some utilitarians, like snails, hermits, certain blennies, tangs. Those guys will continuously search for GHA.

Yea i have no clean up crew currently but I just remembered I have an order from reefcleaners coming in. I went a bit overboard on it but i want to increase my feeding too so hopefully itll keep the crew fed.
