 Re: red algae is back
BOBA!
You gotta get your hands wet on this one. You have to physically remove this stuff as best as possible. Try to syphon it out while and then add new water like a water change. You will have to do this several times. Cut way back on any feeding. Id say i feed every 2 or 3 days. Cut back on lights increase flow. Syphon off that top layer of substrate little at a time. Make sure your skimmer is working efficiently.
You need to assess your situation and figure out where the nitrates and probably phosphates are coming from.
This is only going to get worse unless dealt with directly. Let us know how it goes. |
