before i doom some poor frag into extinction, i thought i would ask the following: i have switched my tank to a new one, and of course my nitrates went thru the roof. i have been doing a lot of water changes, added a euroreef skimmer, and added some whopping vho lighting. since the new tank has taken off, i have my nitrates way down, almost non-existant, but i have this huge algae bloom unlike i have ever seen. it is like fine feathery green strands, not turf algae or spaghetti, or at least that i have seen, looks almost like little ferns. i contributed the growth to my nitrate spike and mega-lighting. has anybody dealth with this type of algae and is it bad? i figure if it's feeding on the nitrates it can't be all that terrible, or am i kidding myself. this stuff is growing like that stuff in Creepshow, hour by hour it grows. am i going to have problems when this stuff eats my nitrates to oblivion? is there anything that will eat it? i put some turbo grazers in there but they don't seem interested in it.
