So I just ran home for lunch and to do my mid day feeding and found that 2 of my wave pumps and some algae on the glass is turning white?? All on the same side of tank. Left side. Seems to be contained to about a 1foot area currently. Changes as of last 24hrs are cleaned the sump of all hair algae. There was a ton of it. Flipped over some of the Bio blocks and added a bag of chemi pure elite. The one with ferric oxide. Thats about it. Moved some corals around also. Ill get a pic after work if needed. Anyone else have something like this happen?

I've had the coralline algae on my pump turn white this is usually right after I do a water change and they've been exposed to the lights without water the power from the lights 10 in the park ends to bleach them out if they're exposed to the air too long they could just be bleaching out as well I'll be looking for the picture to see if I can try and help

do you usually run chemipure elite with gfo? if not thats most likely it. i have had gfo do odd things in my tank. white algae usually means its dying (a good thing). flipping the bio blocks coulda also caused a small spike in something like ammonia.
