Sorry guys, really new to reefing. Trying to learn as fast as I can. Is this green hair algae? Tank was "established" when I got it second hand 6 weeks ago. Coraline algae growing everywhere. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Ho- I have the same tank. Can you take close up pictures please?

Awesome! I really love the convenience of the AIO. I hope this is better. Thanks!

Yes hair algae!
I would run a fluconazole treatment.

Thank you! I assume there is a thread about fluconazole? I was kinda trying to let it run it's course but I been getting concerned that it would get out of hand.

It’s bryopsis mostly- use flucanozole. Then send us pictures a week after and we can deal with what’s left

Vibrant is an algae eating bacteria, takes 3 or 4 weeks.

Thanks guys! I was hoping I wouldn't be in this position. I have a reactor with biopellets, skimmer and the normal tank filtration but somehow something got of control. Thanks for the ID. I sure wouldn't want to start a war with the wrong bad guy.
