![]() Well my pills arrived in the mail this week. I'm scared...lol Other than a few really annoying patches of algae that consistently come back my tank is doing SOOOOO good right now. Amazing coral color and growth. I'm scared if I put this in something will happen...

![]() Its good to be scared and cautious. You have to decide if it is worth the risk or are you willing to live with what you have.
In my case it was a no brainer it was either treat or rip apart. Quote:

![]() Treated in a system with tens of thousands of dollars worth of nice corals and anthias, no losses. Would do again in a heartbeat.

![]() In my case because of the age of the system (15 years old) and the nutrients that were built up in the rock, deep sand bed and the heavy volume of algae once I got the Bryopsis under control I had a bad Cyno outbreak, Once I got the Cyno under control I had a bad Dino outbreak. To get the Dino under control I had to encourage the hair algae to grow. Of the 3 things the hair algae is the easiest. This transition took over 6 months to happen. Water changes didn't stop the transition and likely encouraged the Dino outbreak
In the end to fix the root of the problem I have to tear down the tank and start again. It is in the plans anyway. |

![]() 1 week in. Starting to see gha die off. Its browning and some areas that were not bad are clear now. No effect on coral or clams at all but happy to report none of my fish currently have yeast infections!
