I stand corrected. A quick look shows that in 2013 the was confirmation that bacteria will feed on living algae. I was always under the impression bacteria consumed the nutrients that algae need to grow as well as algae that was dying off.

There is a gigantic thread somewhere - R2R? RC? - all about Vibrant, with alll this info by the Vibrant creator, photos, and (mostly positive) individual reports from using Vibrant. The problem is it was like 150+ pages couple years ago, when I last checked it.

I've used vibrant for bubble algae a bunch of times. Works great but i usually get cyano after i stop. Gotta test while you use it. I've had it bottom out my nutrients. I dose nitrates when i stop my vibrant and that seems to help avoid dinos. Hair algae for me has always been a water quality problem. Good source water and water changes clear up hair algae. Reef flux will kill hair algae and bryopsis but it stresses my montis a bit.
