Algae outbreak - getting better

It's been emotional but the end is in sight for my algae nightmare.

I've changed salt brand back to Tropic Marin, removed the green wrasse (it was predating snails), siphoned off the algae every week, got rid of the bio pearls & removed most of the substrate. I've also added a few more mexican turbos and a large sea hare!

Once the long hair algae is scraped/sucked up, I've noticed the tangs & other herbivores are able to graze the rock (they wont touch hair algae).

Here are some top down pics for a perspective change,






I have noticed some Cyano bacteria (red slime) so will be keeping tabs on this.
