LFS advice on algea

[saltyair]

100 % sure it's GHA

So your saying that the GHA is absorbing the PO4 - that is why i'm showing 0 po4?

So after 3 years of no algae outbreaks - I start carbon dosing and upgrade to a gfo/carbon reactor - I now have GHA?

I agree that the lfs advise sounds crazy. So what would be your solution to rid the GHA? response is very much appreciated

GHA could also be misIDed as bryopsis as well. I haven't dealt with either lately so unfortunately so I'd recommend getting an ID to confirm that you have GHA to start and then either address the additional nutrients in your system (probably phosphates).
