My Algae and Vibrant Journey

[ChrisKSB]

I know my tank is still 'new' and I expect to go through all the ugly phases. I'm just at month three now, but the algae has gotten so ugly and the water column so cloudy...this is probably one of the points where many throw in the towel! Decided to give Vibrant a try, just to make the tank worth looking at. Two days in, WOW...water column was crystal clear and a huge noticeable change in the turf algae (just a guess...). Pics of Day 0 and Day 2 below.

Day 4 is today, turf algae not as bad as before, but not as good as day 2. But...now all of the sudden I have GHA! Didn't have any before... No complaints, just reporting...gonna keep going and report results as I work through this.

Day 0 left, Day 2 right -

Will update with photos/commentary on day 7.
