A herd and a half of snails seems to be taking care of it for now. Problem is these turbos do more damage than the algae did!! :razz:

Muck, they're like little bulldozers. They knock corals all over the place, even though they're puttied onto rocks!!

I just had a bad algae outbreak (brown hair algae). Couldn't figure it out - - THEN - I discovered that the ball valve diverting flow to my refugium had been slightly altered, and the flow had really dropped a lot. It is full of caulerpa - and the fact the flow dropped meant that there was enough nutrient for algae - and the caulerpa was getting starved. Phosphate and nitrate stayed zero (eaten by the algae).

Mostly fixed within a week or so of turning back up the fuge flow.

Should have used a gate valve instead of a ball valve.
