NO! Search here on how to use it.
It only takes a small amount as it lowers alk it lowers ph.
Easy to use though.
Look into Elos nitrate test kit.
Easy to read even for my old eyes, lol.

Will do! Just wanted to be sure. No need for another mass extinction....lol

Here’s a walk around of the tank. Still battling algae, but slowly winning. Lol

Love the scape! You may want to consider a fluconazole treatment for the hair algae.
It worked well on both of my tanks.

Thanks! I did 3 of them. Didn’t work and just caused my sps to RTN. What I have now is on the side and underside of the rocks in the display. So I don’t think it’s photosynthetic. I think it’s more bacterial, but haven’t found a treatment option yet. Trying to balance out nutrients and adding in competitive bacteria in hopes it will go away naturally. My GHA is in my sump though. I have a dozen urchins in there along with snails and crabs and it’s still thriving. Lol
