I did a 3-day this last weekend
It helped some, but no eradication
It temporarily shut down the cyano and diatoms, and weakened the GHA enough for me to clean a lot of it up
Tonight I added a Sea Hare and the little bunny/cow is going nuts scouring the algae away right down to the LR
I still have a lot of work to do to clean things up and keep it clean, plus I still have no idea where this outbreak came from in the first place ...
I'm gonna blame the maintenance guy for not basting the rocks enough
, and allowing the sand to get a bit 'layered'
I'm pretty sure it's not my bioload or feeding habits, but have cut the feedings down a bit in the meantime to allow me a reprieve
