 Re: red algae is back
Bob, that's great those things you tried are working, isn't it fun to solve things?! I think so! Sounds like you're listening to your tank, and although Jim's right about the sand sifters just pushing junk around, they do help keep some algaes from reforming on your sand! I didn't have a red algae but the brown diatoms kept showing on my sand, and that's with my 6 nassarius snails! So, got a blue dot sleeper goby, man that sand is crystal clear! Well, actually it's white with some black! But it's very clean now. I do remember having to syphon out that cyano though when I did have it, that really does help it go away too, along with what you're already doing.
Great work, keep us updated, another picture?
