Thanks again and to everyone that helped me with this battle. I might have one the battle but is the war over? We will see probably later this week.
So I'm going on day 4 with no lights on my tank. I do not see anymore dinos. I'm afraid to turn my lights back on though, should I go a few more...
Thanks again. It took me about 4.5 to 5 hours to clean everything in my sump and the sump itself. It looks brand spanking new again and its going to...
Thank you. I pumped my sumps water down really low and then pulled out a shop vac and vaccumed all the detritus water off the bottom. Then I wiped...
Thanks for all the help everyone. Yeah my lights are still off, slowly buffing the tank up to 11 KH. I'm ripping my sump apart and cleaning every...
I haven't smelled anything? My outbreak is very small but I'm taking all actions possible to destroy it before its taken my whole tank over.

That sucks, I guess my algae is nothing compared to yours then.
My bulbs are barely a month old. I usually feed daily due to my anthias but I guess I can try to cut them back to every other day.
Yeah when it first started it was looking like a brown version of GHA but now I don't know what the heck it is.
Heres some pics of the algae in the tank. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Sweet thanks for the great advice, I will definitely test my top off water.
Yeah thats what I was thinking, I'm hoping they clear soon. They are bothering my corals and me!:angry:
Ok thats good to know. Yeah I have never had an algae bloom in my tank since I cycled it 3 years ago. I have plenty of flow in my tank, I do the...
Ok I think I found out what this algae bloom is and what caused it. It looks more like a diatom bloom in my tank. Its like a brown slime on my...
