Been a few weeks now. Still not seeing much progress on any of the algae.
The red algae to the left of the zoa's is spreading and still seeing new bubble algae popping up. I have also been getting lots of red algae covering parts of the sand. Not sure what it is, but I have been removing it as it comes up. Corals don't seem to like the vibrant dosing. Hammer coral has closed up and looks like it's dying and I am seeing some melting at the ends of my gsp. The candy cane coral also doesn't seem to be opening as much as it used to. Seems like I am fighting everything right now...

Into week 5 of vibrant
Still seeing some melting on the tips of my gsp. Hammer coral continues to go down hill. fuzzy mushroom, red mushroom and now my candy cane coral aren't opening and look unhappy. Continue to dose vibrant twice a week, with large water change once a week as well. I'm not noticing any new bubble algae forming, but I also don't see any of it disappearing except for what I can suck out during water changes. All other algae doesn't appear to be spreading, but isn't getting better. I am dealing with a lot of red algae.. or I think is algae. Sand is almost completely red no matter how much I suck out. Starting to spread to the rocks as well. Tested my water on the weekend. Everything checked out. Nothing out of whack. So im guessing something I don't have a test kit for is the cause for the coral unhappiness. Really tempted to call it and just restart the entire thing.

The red could be cyno bacteria. Over load of nutrients. I had a major outbreak when I was fighting byopsis with Fluconazole, got rid of the bryopsis got cyno, got rid of the cyno got dinoflagellates. Some times seems like a never ending cycle.

Algae turf scrubber?
Algae turf scrubber?
I've had good luck with a simple upflow ATS to beat hair algae and cyano. Instead of trying to kill it, grow something to out-compete it. I have a friend with a 5g tank that put a a small submersible led light with some fabric in a back compartment that worked for him.
