Ultra Algea X

[JRWOHLER]

Ouch. Well glad that's over with. If I was in mikes situation, it would have ultimately been my fault and I would have been cursed off lol. What are you using to battle the bubble algae? I just started dosing ultra algea x to fight off a cross of Dino and hair algae.

Looked the stuff up I see that clams can be harmed, which leads me to the question do you have clams?

I broke the question out of Nikki and Mike's tank thread to avoid hijacking.

How is it working so far?

I tried it years ago when my tank was overrun with bryopsis. I had to order it from overseas because it was not available in the states. Didn't seem to work for me.

I'm pretty sure ultra algea x will also kill chaeto..

Alright so idk if it's me but my snails seem to be more active and actually are eating the algae I'm fighting. For several weeks I have picked up the snails and placed them on the rock but they did no damage. My rocks are actually clearing up.

TODAY!!!!!!!

Some corals have gotten pale others browned out. Other than that, nothing else! mrehfeld, redfishbluefish, and ecambero can all vouch for the disgusting algae that was growing on my rocks.

 

[mrehfeld]

That's impressive, well done

 

[Empire]

Thanks man. I'm going to keep up with the dosing for another week to play it safe.

I used it a few years back when I had a bad hair algea problem. Works greats great, but takes time. I had another hair algea problen after hurricane Sandy, but couldn't find Ultra Algea X anywhere. I used Algea Fix Marine. Worked good too.

As a side note I recently learned that Matawan water is treated with chloramine, were you aware of that?

 

[Empire]

I had no idea. I do have an 8 stage RODI

I guess it varies. My pictures prove it to work within 2 days.

Can anyone read German? I wanted to check out fauna Marin website and see what chemicals are in this.
