My money is on doing nothing at all.
After awhile it will eat all your nutrients and die off, scraping it will just have it die and create more nutrias, let it live till its eating whatever its living on and wait. Sometimes its best to do nothing at all and let it take care of itself.

HOWEVER, as I need a few other things as you know, its like a puzzle trying to find them all at one place. Ones got this and not that and the other this and that. For craps sakes.  Think I will just order more Phosban and be done with it.

I would not suggest using the Shorty Reactor, the shorties do not make good Pellet reactors and they make it difficult to tumble the beads. I would suggest a Phosban/ bead combo with the Phosban 150 or the new 550. We have both kits available.

Thats what I originally looked at Ian, then the Vertex, then on to NextReef. The 150 is 17in. high, is it not? The shelf area its going is only 15in. high which is why I asked about shorter reactors.
Thanks

Sorry I don't have time to read the entire thread, but just reading the first page...do you have somewhere you can get the corals babysat at, and do a 72 hour blackout on the tank? Then do a 50-75% water change? By black period I mean like ZERO light penetration...get a blanket all tucked around it. I suggest this because an algae/bacteria that grows that fast should also die fast (in a blackout). Blackouts don't usually work for stuff like GHA, bubble algae, chaeto, etc which are slower growers (in comparison).
