So the parameters for my 55 SW
SG 1.025
pH 8.2
Ammonia 0
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
Phosphate 0
I have tried to get rid of this disgusting algae, and I just do not know what to do anymore. my light cycle was long ( 12 hours) so for the last two weeks, it has been about 8 hours, and only the Actinic bulb. I have vacuumed it off, I have scraped it off, I have cleaned the filters, I have stopped feeding everyone (its down to two times a week for fish and anemones, and once a week of Zooplex for the scallops). Even the shy wrasse is coming out when it sees me, that is how hungry he is. The hermit crabs have no interest in doing anything but sitting in their caves (even at night when I spy on them).
I have tried Red Slime Remover (ultra life reef products) and it does not get rid of it. I am assuming it is red slime because it is purple in color and well, slimy. Now I also have some off tan colored algae as well.
I plan on trying out API's AlgaeFix Marine, which is safe on reefs, invertebrates, etc.
Does anyone have some advice before I lose my mind?
