Hair algae outbreak.

[DiverDude]

I dosed MB7 right onto the dry pellets before closing the reactor. I also dose MB7 once every few weeks. Skimmer is set to skim fairly wet but it's just not pulling much right now as I'm doing 15% water changes every 3-4 days right now. Also, other than a dead sea hare somewhere in the tank, I have a light bioload.

HA growth has slowed in the last week but it's not receeding.

You would only need to dose maybe once or twice a month.

Give it a shot!
