I think my regular MB7 dosing has had something to do with this, too, and created beneficial bacteria that out competed with the bacteria that might have been providing food to the algae or help it to consume the N03 and P04.

I'm not a chemist or biologist, so just my uneducated theory....

Sounds pretty good to me. Everything was balanced in my system for a good year with biopellets, then got a crazy Hair Algae breakout. Lasted until I started vodka dosing, it went away, then I stopped vodka and it's stayed gone(as in 0 gone, not just controlled). We run our systems, especially ULNS, on the edge of failing at any point, only take a small change to get things back in line. That's why I like biopellets and refugium, they tend to be self compensating.
