Here's my challenge with my tank. Just did a water change. I've been fighting this green hair algae since I had my 40 gallon tank. It continues in this 125 gallon. The half platform with the little zoa's and the tube on the back wall. I take it out and peroxide clean it. But the other Rock work is just to much to take out and clean the same way. My parameters are: SG: 1.025 TEMP: 78 ALK: 8.9 CA: 430 MG: 1290 PH: 8.2 NO3: 4 PO4: 0.00... now my toldstool hasn't been open for 2 weeks. And my GSP won't open because I cleaned the tube. So, I'm going drastic and I'm putting the GFO back in the sump. I hate to say how much I spent. But I ordered some New fish to help with this algae. Yellow Tang, tomini tang, one spot foxface rabbitfish, and more.
Never had diatoms this bad. What are the white caps on the top of the rocks? It's like the only spot algae refused to grow. Lighting is set as low as possible (turned blue off to take pictures). I have new chaeto coming Friday along with apocalypse pods and phytoplankton. There are little air bubbles on the glass from the algae. Totally weird! I did a hydrogen mix dip that killed my chaeto before I was going to add it. I want to buy shrimp in person but have to travel 50+ miles.
This GHA is whooping me. ISO blue tuxedo urchin - Houston Area…
GHA struggle is real man. U gotta keep that flow high and prob tweak lighting too!
Woke up to find my urchin has a new fascinator! 😡 It's chewed up both of my Xenia and now I have none left.
That urchin really knows how to claim prime real estate! Softies like Xenia can be tough to keep safe with critters that curious. At least your gorgonian looks happy under that blue lighting!

oh that’s spectacular. there is they really terrific facebook group that provides the exact lighting spectrum i use. there are a couple different options that just change the time of day. i’ll attach a screenshot of the group. i suggest the penny wise deadligh...
