I've heard that by raising the levels of mg in the system, it helps to control algae.
I want to try this as my Hair algae is outta control. I'll scrub it all off and 2 weeks later its about 1-2cm long again.
I don't have a mg test kit so will have to go by observation. What could the negative effects and signs be of dosing too much?
How much should I dose? and How?
At the moment, I'm running aquiPhos pellets and dosing liquid phos remover every week...with no visible reduction in algae growth. And its starting to really make me wanna chuck everything, but my corals are looking really good.
Its a +-200Lt system, 2x 24W t5 (10Hrs/day), mostly softies but got some LPS and SPS. 2 x wrasse and a clown. Last time I tested, nitrate was about 3-5. Phos undetected by sh1t test kit (nutrafin).
