    Yea These guys are right though there is a reason that you have GHA. One of the things that helped me our alot was carbon dosing. I had this same type of thread going about a month ago. I had a TON of GHA in my tank. I add 1/4 a ml of vodka every day. And do it religiously. Over the course of 1 weeks the GHA has all but died off. The red turf is still there but Im seeing it slowly dissapear as well. Corline is starting to pop up now. I also switched my halide to a 14k Pheonix this also seemed to help so it might be a little of both. Was running a 10k before and it came with the light so figured it was a cheap bulb. So what Id do is if there is no nitrate or phosphate try looking into carbon dosing its cheap and works very well.

    Think he is a pink tux urchin so that might just do it. He is a hog eats everything. Plus he hits the coraline on the glass and saves me some time :)
