Yes I know what you are saying, its a different kind of algae though, I clean my front and side panels every 2-3 days for viewing clarity, however its an easy to remove almost white powder type of thing that just floats off into the water column, the stuff on the back glass is a real green...

I still dont understand why this stuff is only growing on the glass, not a spec of it on rock or sand?

Yes I have a reactor, media changed out every 3 weeks. Tank is only stocked with a pair of percs and loaded with sps and a few softies, rhodactis Inchoata mainly. Tank is fed every other day, with well rinsed frozen food...

Hello all, wanted to pick some brains.... Over the last month or so ive started to see a gha bloom, however it only grows on my glass, never on my sand or rock. This particular tank is a 20g with decent levels, Dkh 9.6 Mag 1350 Cal 400 Nitrates 5ppm Undetectable phosphates, prob due to gha...

I'm not quite sure what 215+ is? My test kit only reads up to 15 dkh.

100% acan, looks nothing like a blasto, I'm not sure how anybody could mix the two up...?

I just run live rock and a skimmer and have 0 nitrate. But I don't run and substrate, always go bare bottom so no junk can get bound up in the sand. Just sayin.....
