I've had it all in this tank..

A couple of years ago I had dictyota bad. In went the Naso Tang and it was gone within a week!

I've always had a few crevasses with the odd valonia. I do t bother to do anything about those (yet).

Got hit with diatoms bad this past fall. This was due to adding some new sand and stirring up old sand. It sorted itself out over a few weeks tho.

After I put my biopellet reactor back on line in November/December I got hit with cyano. Battled it first with a bit more flow and blackout. This kicked a lot of it back but still had stubborn patches of it. Decided to give Chemiclean a shot and with that I nuked cyano in 3 days!! Amazing stuff.

Currently have a few patches of hair algae in some shaded areas of all places. Mostly ignoring them for now and treating them as a nutrient sink LOL.
