So I’m dealing with GHA, and used reeflux 15 days ago. Followed all directions, including turning my skimmer off for the first 72 hours, etc. I also removed my chaeto, to keep it safe. Based on some discussions in this forum, I turned up the white lights some to encourage the algae ingesting the reeflux.
most people have seen obvious results in the first week or two. I have seen the opposite. The GHA seems to be growing, if anything. Nitrates and phosphates haven’t gone up. If anything they have gone down. Without my chaeto and skimmer removing anything, I assume the GHA is still consuming it.
I know it says to give it up to three weeks, but I’m growing anxious. I’m going to wait the full three weeks but if it remains, what’s the strategy on a second dose? Should I do a water change first?
