Multiple forms of algae there..
dinos, neomersis, etc.. yuck.. I would take that out and soak it in 50% tank water/50%hydrogen peroxide and scrub the heck out of it with a brush. Then rinse with more tank water and put it back in the tank and hope that takes care of it..

I second the cleaning of the rock with hydrogen peroxide/tank water. Dinos are bad news. The clean up crew should take care of everything else, but the dinos are a problem.

FYI, the OP has another thread where his Alk his way low (and thus ph) . He's using rodi water from his LFS and red sea salt.
I am not sure if there is a connection with the algae problem and the inability to keep his KH above 7, so I am sharing this information in case there is one. |
