Doug, the first few months made me a bit nuts, but now it's just part of the tank. Cleaning it constantly doens't work, by the time I get from one end to the other, it starts growing again right behind me.
Judging by the looks of this stuff, it isn't dinos any longer. And the fact that this astrea is now eating the furry brown stuff leads me to believe that a good cleanup crew will solve most of it.
I've been dealing with problems since last November and I swear if this isn't back to it's former glory by December, there's gonna be a closing out sale!!
On the upside, acro growth and color are coming along nicely. Seeing blue in corals that have been brown for 6 months. Gives me a certain amount of hope.
I don't think it's any particular thing tht caused it. For all I know, it came from a tank I got frags from and found favourable conditions here. John has a similar algae and he got stuff from me, so maybe we're just passing it around.
I'm grabbing some test astreas tonight, so I have my fingers crossed that they'll start munching lie the guy I have here. If so, J&L will have a large snail order coming (as soon as I find some spare money)!
