I’m finally beating GHA!

I’ve been noticing the algae has been getting thinner, and it’s not as bright of green.
I also been finding a lot of lose algae in the filter, and when I try to blast it off the rocks, a lot of it comes off easy.
I’m so happy ;D

 

congrats!

what actions have you been taking in your battle against the algae?

 

I had GHA within first few months of reef tank.. it eventually went away.

karma to 1fish2fish.. got ya over 10k

congrats!

 

Well…
I got a bunch of blue legs, didn’t touch the stuff.
Then I tried turbo snails. (I still had the hermits. snails + hermits = free snack and new shells for the hermits )
Then I got 2 emerald crab, and 2 mollies. They keep it manageable.:-/
So after all the failed attempts, a just did a 50% water change, the left it to run its curse… I mean course.

 

Ps. I still have some algae, but about 75% is gone.

 

I don’t have a test kit, so I took some water to a lfs today to get it tested. Ammonia, nitrate, and nitrite where 0, phosphate was barely detectable, and my calcium was a little low. (They don’t use test strips)
