Help SPS + Brown Algae = BAD
So my beloved Becker Tort is beginning to be attacked by this unknown brown algae!!! Can anyone identify this stuff and assist me with a diagnosis and cure so I can save my Becker Tort
65g system Water paramaters: Sal: 1.025 PH: 8.3 Temp: 77ΒΊ Nitrates: 0 Nitrites: 0 Phospahates: 0 Ammonia: 0 Calcium: 450 Alk: 10.2 Mag: 1350 I do small weekly water changes 5 gallons. I use reefers Best Salt, I have a phosban reactor running, Tunze 9010, VorTech and closed loop generating 40x flow. I don't over feed the tank if anything I under feed.
