There was the same problem; I added a scrubber to the algae tank, and after a while, everything was fine. In the summer, the scrubber also worked like a refrigerator due to its surface area, and the temperature was 28-29 degrees.

You are developing a marine system, and by using chemistry, you will address the consequence rather than the cause.

I understand all of this, but I want to eliminate the consequence; I think I've found the cause. It's silicates. I checked the osmosis for silicates - 0.6 (JBL test kit). In the aquarium, it's 0.2-0.4, and I think the spike in silicates in the aquarium is due to the dinoflagellates consuming silicates. I added PhosGuard; there was an effect, but it didn't last long. Now the algae have appeared due to poor food - Tetra. The glass and stones were all covered in slimy algae. Frequent water changes won't fix it. I also have doubts about the sand. Could silicates accumulate in the sand?

I bought 250 ml of Ultra Algea X, how did you use it? I bought a new food, NutriVital daily.

Today I will pour for the first time, I plan to leave the light on for 6 hours at 50% power. Is it better to pour after sunset? Or can I do it before?

Allison

I poured after sunset, closer to night.

Today I filled the tank for the first time, the aquarium is overgrown, I turned off the light completely. Should I temporarily put in actinics?

Lee

It can be done that way too.

I would put the Loach and the Dogfish (Salarias Fasciatus) and not feed them. These two fish are just lawnmowers. Minimize the current, although in the photo it seems that some of the invertebrates have already lost their zooxanthellae, and that's not good!

I wouldn't waste time and would set up 1-2 resin tanks for water purification (by the way, that's how I solved the same problem back in the day). Check the forum for how to do it or write to me, I'll help.

How are things after the medication was administered? Is there any result? P.S. You still need to address the issue with the iptazation, it's really getting out of hand.

Timothy

The light was reduced by 50%, there is a Solaris dog, I think I'll plant a fox.

Resin tanks for osmosis for automatic topping up?

Julie3950

Flasks with resin AFTER osmosis! If you don't have osmosis, think about how to pass water through the resin, you can use a small pump.

The result is here!! The algae are going away. The light is off. I only turn it on during feeding and rinsing the sponges. To combat aiptasia, I’m thinking of adding a wünderlini. Is there any other proven method? A photo report on the medication will come a bit later.

Osmosis is present. The output TDS is 18. I haven't added the resin yet, but I will. I think the problem lies in the osmosis. After using the distillate and PhosGuard, the algae have decreased. I want to address the consequence with the medication, not the cause.

Todd

How did it all end?

Danny

The algae are gone, I'll send a photo.
