Oops, yes.
NO decline in algae growth. Jeez I think I had too many cups of coffee this am.
Yes, I totally agree with you Tony about maybe replacing the bulbs. But if there is a cheaper way to go first I'd try it. See first thing I did was spend $200 on bulbs, then when that didn't work I had no money left to try other things. Then I had to wait it out until I could get the money to try other approaches. It ended up being a combination of things (I was using natural seawater at the time that had phosphates in it, had a crappy skimmer and low alk). Changing these things did eventually get rid of the brown goo type algae but I didn't have any success with eliminating hair algae. If I had the patience after each and every algae attack I probably could have beaten it (or at least slapped it around a little) but I didn't. I moved, got my tax return and bought new rock
