Thank You!Originally Posted by txav8r
I found an article on RC about raising magnesium levels from the regular 1350 to 1650 and that wiped out my bryopsis in 3 days!
(only side effect was that my massive pod population twindled with the bryopsis gone)
Then I did have hair algae (replacing the bryopsis lol) and I have a book by Julian Sprung that recommends raising alkalinity and adding herbivores. Alkalinity over 8 dkh helps precipitate phosphate ( I feed all day ;) ). And really the corals needed higher alk than what I had anyway.
I also added a few mexican red legs. The hermits and the higher alkalinity took care of most of the hair algae.
I am pretty amazed myself how quickly everything came together
