I like the Prodibio BioDigest and BiOptim but I find they are only useful to get from LNS to ULNS. They aren't as powerful as daily-dosed carbon products.

Also, you'll need a different phosphate kit for ULNS. Hanna ULR HI736 is good but you need to know a few tricks to get accurate readings. I've heard good things about the Red Sea Pro Phosphate too and apparently it doesn't require any tricks, but haven't used it myself yet. Soon though...

A few questions if I could. My sps are doing so well Im scared of harming them fighting the algae. But it does need to go. Seems almost impossible to scrub, even using a stainless steel brush.

I have Kent mag coming but if not bryopsis, thats out.

Also have AlgaFix coming but those products scare the pants of me. May be what I have to use though.

What if I buy the Zeo product and fight it that way, going ULNS?

Any thoughts or suggestions.

Thanks

What do you have for CUC Doug? Often all it takes if some beefing up and the algae will be gone, not always a need to mess with parameters.
