Sorry, I was going to list All the nuisances in the poll but the list got overwhelming LOL! So instead I limited to just algaes and bacteria this time around. Will do another one for other nuisances critters later.

Vodka dosing and a whack load of snails cured my problem.

I currently have a lot of hair algae which is hurting my pearl bubble coral I have loaded up with snails and tried lights off my tangs are lazy and have no interest. So I am going to try this algeafix stuff as soon as I can order it. I am blaming new tank syndrome for this at this time and the fact I didn't have my Refugium running. Also a small bit of diatoms. And lastly he film algea drives me nuts cleaning glass every day it seems may have to try gfo once I find a reactor

Yup, had dictyota since the very beginning. It must have been on my original purchase of LR and I've never been able to do anything but manually crop it. GFO does nothing for this algae IME. My tank is too small for a Naso which I hear eats the stuff. Thus my excuse for the upgrade to my 210 which is still a work in progress.
