green slime algae

[Kelvin81]

My tank is about 10 mths old. But I been battling the above mentioned matter for many many mth..

Here the process of the slime algae foaming..

1. Rock's surface cover with air bubbles

2. A thin layer of green slime algae will grew on top those air bubbles

3. The layer getting thicker about 2 mm. Those air bubbles which wrapped by the algae will tangling slightly off the rock.

I had tried..

1. Change my returb pump from 3000L per hour to a DC 5000L per hour with a rotation outlet to increase flow rate

2. 1 x mp10 wave maker

3. Added cheato to sump tank

4. Run rowa phosphate fr

5. Added water cleanser ball

6. Reduce lighting. AI Vega LED 45% white

I still have the same issue..

Currently I using siphon method to remove them.

My tank is 2 x 2 x 2.5

Pls advice..

u tried using UVC? wats the po4 and no3 reading?

[Kelvin81]

I dont test no3.. think I need that now. My po4 reading between 0 and 0.025 using sera tester. What is uvc? I just install a bio pellet reactor. Mini 70 from gemsurf.

Bro I would suggest u to test ur di water no3 and po4. Also ur tank s no3. Running rowa phos should be fine with po4

[Kelvin81]

I test po4 for the di water. Reading 0. Hope everything turn out better.. will add on the flow.. seems a few telling me that its due to lack of flow

[Kelvin81]

I will test the po3 reading as well. Thanks a lot for your guidance

I also have green slime, or Cyanobacteria. Seem like I have overdose on some additives like BW biofuel and mb7, amino acids, fm reef vitality and color elements. So if u guys r dosing similar products or vodka or any other carbon source. U need to reduce or stop now. Siphon out gsa & do more small amt of WC.

This is the advise I got so hope this helpful as well.
