This is odd...

Scott,

Check the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels in the water. At certain times of the year these nasties can be present big time in tapwater.

Hmm, it's not an RO seeing as I don't use an RO/DI unit

Maybe , depending on what the tax refund looks like, I could invest in one of those Aquasafe units... I plan to keep my reef for a while to come... and want long-term success, especially with SPS. So perhaps that's something to look into. I'll post a thread about them though, as I have questions about the unit itself.

Otherwise, is there something I can use (chemically) that will help rid of this algae outbreak? I would manually do it, but it's all too hard to reach (cyano in particular) .. I just need something to clean the tank up a bit.

Thanks,

Thanks guys, good idea.. I will test the water , tomorrow morning. I'll try leaving a bucket sit over night with the PRIME in it.

Test the water before adding Prime to get true readings of what's in your tapwater.
