Thanks for the beautiful frags!!!

I just get gallons of DI from target, I use about 10 gallons a month and may not be practical for larger tanks, but my acros are good as long as I don’t do anything stupid, so probably good enough as far as purity goes.

I like AFR and Kalkwasser combo, like others say, AFR is expensive, so kalkwasser is a good companion for cost management and as a pH enhancer. I think a small amount of AFR with kalkwasser maxed out to close to evaporation rate then up your AFR is a pretty good strategy, at least works great...

All to realize that wasn’t the tree causing the problem, but merely one with the same timing as the real culprits!

And it’s gone!

How big is the tank in question?

Looks like the treatment is working! Growth had stopped and gha is definitely on the decrease!

3g of GFO rinsed with DI added

Today Phosphate: 0.21 Nitrate: approx 40 No noticeable progression in the recession of the gha. Will start GFO this morning.

So the pre-treatment Phosphate: 0.08 Nitrate: 15 Today Phosphate: 0.17 Nitrate: 25 Will probably put GFO in today or tomorrow when I have time, but looks like nutrients are climbing so I’ll probably retest tonight and tomorrow to see where they head. Visually, it looks like the algae in lower...

I think you have to give it a ridiculous name to get interest in it! Hahaha, thanks again for the frag, coloring up real nice!

Treatment is officially in flight, mixed up half a capsule in some tank water (2x treatment as allowed per the label) for treating the 2.5 gallon tank volume. Did a decent 30% water change prior and removed GFO. From what I have read, GFO can be reintroduced after 3-4 days to keep phosphates...

Already got it, next day prime is kinda scary fast!

3 blue legs, pincushion urchin, emerald crab, 2 astrea, and a Mexican turbo.

Ordered reef flux, any recommendations on how to maximize use efficiency? Cautions?

I do not think so, the algae is going on snail shells and a couple coral skeletons that it has choked out too. Seeing as the plastic is PETG (mostly carbon oxygen and hydrogen with one sulfur in the center of the molecule) I doubt it is a food source.

This is where it currently stands

2.5 gallons

Rock is 3D printed plastic and sand is coarse aragonite and crushed coral mix but only enough to barely cover the bottom (aesthetic only).
