a few weeks ago the pump on my chiller seized for a day without me knowing and the temp was close to 90 when i finally realized it, after i got the temp back down to 77 i noticed over the next week that a huge green algae outbreak occured, how can i rid of this without bothering my corals and fish? of course none of my 5 tangs are eating it either lol, would a seahare do the trick? i also heard seachem magnesium? or just water changes?

There's no quick fix in a reef tank :( weekly water changes run some new GFO and Carbon for now and 5 tangs in a 120g is a high bio load so u have to cut back on feeding them do it evry other day and they will be fine, in no time they will start picking on the rocks.

A friend of mine had a algae problem and his fresh water with kalkwasser in it over pumped into the tank and it changed his salt level but then I think he added saltwater to bring the level back up to normal. so the to much of the kalkwasser in a long time frame we are thinking killed the algae The algae was gone the next day and never came back.. Im not telling you to do this. I just giving you a idea what worked for him
