Hello fellow reefers.

I have a problem with this algae... well i think is an algae..

Have been struggling with it for a coyole months.. my tank is 6 months old and i had the crazy algae bloom that i erradicated with the normal tank cycle.

Then thus came here, i dosed a chemiclean round as i had cyano and it thid nothing to it.. and have been 1 week with 2 dosis of vibrant a week and it has done nothi g to it..

Any idea of what it is and how to erradicate it?

I would try some types of turbo snails, also tangs do a good job on algae as well, depending on your take size. My first bet would be to try a few turbo snails, make sure your light isnt too white and maybe add more blue to it. also, having a wide range of algae eating clean up crew can help you out a lot. I would look some up online. Best of luck

I had that kind of algae all over my tank at one time. I bought a sea hare and that dude put the smack down on that algae!!! Try that...
