How do I get rid of this???

[Dbarnes]

My fathers tank seems to be over grown in this and it won't go away, constant water changes and 0nitrates still have not eliminated it. It's growing like a weed??? Any ideas?? I tried raising mag to 1700 and still no change

If all else fails, take the rock out and put out in a 50/50 h2o2 and water. Let it sit for ~10 min. You'll see the algae die.

BTW, the algae is consuming your nitrates giving you a false reading of 0.

I just picked up a sea urgent at reef ed he is making a dent on my algae

 

[Dbarnes]

What kind is he? I did a fresh water dip and it did not kill all of it. I also have some rocks that can not be pulled out

+1. No algae in my tank since I got one of the exact same type. Just don't do it if you have acrylic because I hear they can gouge it.

Pincushion Urchin he picks up things in the tank to blend in

I just inherited a white pin cushion and the thing loves red turf algae. But I have yet seen it go after any other stuff.

 

[CRW Reef]

Forgot about that pin cushion actually glad it has a good home and hopefully you want it. Otherwise.... Well you know where I live good or bad I guess lol

 

[KhensuRa]

Well once it eats through my small algae problem then I can drop him off and he can clean your tank.

 

[Dbarnes]

Drop it by my place anytime, maybe we can make a traveling algae eater lol
