That said, when my skimmer broke (when I "fixed" it), I noticed in the few weeks I was without it the evil weed lost vigor and the bright green faded. I then started feeding the tank VERY heavy. A lot of it died and I then pulled out the rest about a week before the party. I still have some growing but it isn't as thick or strong as it was. I believe it likes really clean water. Good luck and sorry. Next time I will offe EPA suits for visitors and a washdown as you leave
I have recently make large improvements in my water quality. I upgraded my skimmer and added a phosban reactor. I think it's helping in my fight against Lobophora (brown wafer algae) but its possible the improved water quality is not helping in my new war with GPW. Its always something
