Alright... blackout starts today. I'm relocating my clams and a couple corals to the display tanks, but all the Xenia, mushrooms, frogspawn, and zoa's are going to have to suffer. Thoughts on how long? I'm thinking 5-6 days blackout + snails + manual removal.

Hey Dave,
I had similar algae once and I just took a few clumps to my LFS and asked if I could throw it in certain tanks to see what ate it. I found a yellow tang that ate it and it took care of it in a month. Hope this helps. D

You have my sympathy as well.
That being said, if you look at it differently you could have one funky "planted" marine tank with crazy purple algae! Good luck with the battle!

LOL. My five year old nephew was over and thought the tank looked soooo pretty. It's his new favorite tank.

I just fought a battle with this stuff, not quite as bad but a few of my rocks did look like that also. I bought some turbo snails about 2 weeks ago. Now I don't know for sure if it was them that ate it all or because its winter now and I have been back to my normal weekly water changes and better tank maintenance schedule but it is basically gone. The sails were on it so I think they did help.

I seriously doubt you are going to kill the stuff with light's out. I tried and it did not work for me and I did it 7 days. This plant can live much longer and you will kill everything in your tank before it die.
This is not cyano or diatome. If you want to do that, remove all your corals or they will die before that algae. You can try high magnesium level too. My yellow tang did not toutch the stuff at all. Quote:
