One more thought: Has anyone tried Hyposalinity as an option to kill this stuff off? Bringing down salinity to 1.009 will not harm the fish but may kill the algae? Any opinions on this?

UPdates will follow........



Actually hypersalinty would work better. I have a spare 55 gallon tank that I neglected so much so that the salinity rose to 40. Durning this time coraline algae went wild and my bad case of hair algae declined.

Now I wouldn't suggest raising salinty that high but I do recommend keeping it at the high end. Also keep up the alk and calc levels along with pH.
