Brad how's your Algae problem
 

I had a similar out break lasted all summer just starting to disappear this past few weeks. BAD BAD stuff.

P.S. Great to see we're a somebody now. Go Vancouver Islanders

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:

How so..?? :confused:

:mrgreen:

they will have to trained in no time of where they think you should be putting corals.

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

Aaahh. I wasn't sure if thats what you were talking about or some other problem... :mrgreen:

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.
