The multiple suggestions helped to maintain or minimize the growth of new algae, but they were not the
primary killer of the bloom itself. The real killer of the algae infestation was NOT from any particular
suggestion or a combination of them, but one key tactic.
Can anybody guess what that might be? And it isn't anything that has been suggested by the forums
admiinstrators... albeit, these tactics are also required in order to help control the spread of the algae and
minimize its growth. BUT what do you do when the critical point of no return has been breeched..... These
techniques dont work too well then...more extreme measures are requied. . as the whole eco-system seems
to be danger then... sooooo
Take as much live rocks out of the tank and into in a fresh batch of RO water in a trash canister. Put a max
jet pump into the trash canister and cover the can for two weeks. Most of the soft corals will just go
dormant, but the algae will die. Bwwaahhahaaha. I also scrubbed most of the algae away before putting it
into the canister and added several mithrax crab to the canister as well to finish off any last remnants.
