Well I've had it! I don't know if its just Monday or if I've really had it but I'm done fighting hair algae! I've tried everything! (Phosphate remover, RODI water, added a refugium full of chaeto). Nothing has worked! So I've decided to play hard ball. I'm going to completely disassemble my 10 gallon nano reef and basically start over. I'm going to replace the crushed coral substrate with plain aragonite sand and going to attempt to "cook" my live rock. From what I understand this process will help my rock leech out the unwanted detritus, phosphates and nitrates that may have accumulated in it over time. Does anyone have any experience with this process? I'd like to hear about your experience. Hopefully this will help and ill have my tank back to normal soon. I've already started mixing 5 gallons of fresh saltwater that will keep the rocks in a dark container to kill off all algae and release the bad stuff.
