HELP! Need to identify this algae bloom before it kills all my corals.

I think it boils down to that good old saying, 'nothing good happens fast... except bad things'.

I honestly think that if you take your time transitioning into Aquaforest (or Zeo for that matter) rather than switching to it overnight, you can achieve amazing results. These 'advanced' methods are just that though, designed for advanced and experienced reefers in mind. You really need to have an understanding of your tank and how your corals react.

That being said, the only AF product I use is the reef salt, and I've experienced the same snot. I am planning to switch back to IO on my new tank.

As for your tank, I don't really have a solution.
