I'm tagging along as I just started my BioCLEAN regimen last week. 6 weeks of that then introduce the REEFBOOSTER and other vials to the mix.

I don't think you "Have" to remove them but running a ULNS wont usually give you great Macro growth anyway. I've seen a few instances where it's led to an eventually scaling back or demise of some Macro Algae which makes sense if you look at what you're trying to do in the first place.

I have alot of cheato, and haven't removed it yet. And the cheato is still growing, more slowly now, but there is still growth. So I am leaving mine in for now.

Perfect. I'm inviting you over for some reef banter... bring that chaeto before you kill it! Us poor kids need the stringy green stuff =)

Mine has slowed tons too.. still alive though, and I still have a little algae in the tank, but I don't have a big CUC. Now if my 12gal AIO tank at the office would clean up I would be habby.. can't seem to kill the algae there

Re: 12g office tank
- I assume you're doing this treatment there as well? I have a 12g Nanocube here on my desk at work and even with not feeding hardly anything for a year I have more Algae than water LOL! I was going to run Prodibio on this tank if I saw positive results on the larger tank at home.
