OK, I had two fifty five gallon tanks and broke one down. I took everything from one tank and put it into the other. I had a real bad hair algae problem. I went to BRK and asked them about it. They told me ot get a fox face and some snails.
The hair algae was completely gone in a week. But there was some "other" stuff still growing and I cant identify it. It is dark red/burgandy/black in color. It is on my frags, live rock, sand, and even the snail shells now. I have scrubbed the rocks once a week for two weeks. The stuff will not DIE! I have two antheias, a foxface, and a fire angel.
List of questions:
1. What is this stuff?
2. How and can it be killed?
3. Does it kill coral or fish? (this stuff has been in the tank for a while and the water tests are not off at all)
4. Should I be thinking about moving coral and fish to another tank or will this polute the other tank as well?
Please advise...
