The SAT will help.But at 50 bucks,that would have to be a gallon sized jug before I'd buy it.
I'll bet I can beat that price.Give me till monday or tuesday and let me see what I can get you a bottle for.
The way I dosed for algae,was one capfull for 25gals,every day.While manually removing as much algae as possible daily.

Any word on this yet yote?

I found this product as well. http://www.marinedepot.com/ps_ViewItem~idProduct~AP1935~tab~4.html
Any thoughts on it. Reviews seem good.

Snake oil.
I'll get you a price this evening.

 

[yote]

I can get you a 32oz bottle of the Marine SAT for $20.00 or a 12oz for 10.Thats what I would have pay.

 

[Altohombre]

what would the shipping cost be for the 32oz?

 

[dustin_P74]

i think UPS ground is like 8 bucks

 

[bigploch]

Cool well do you think a 32 oz jug is neccessary for a 110 gal tank? You had said 1 capful for 25 gal once a day but how does that translate in ounces?

The cost all depends on where you are shipping to. I checked with the shipping dept at my office and they would pay $9.07 from Harrisburg to Ringgold, GA. That's via UPS ground. I was just thinking of throwing in 10 bucks for shipping. Hopefully that would cover it. USPS is also an option but no idea of the cost.

Once I decide how much I need I will PM you yote for all the details.

A 32oz bottle would get you about 3 weeks with a cap per 25 gallons.

It'll help Alto.Hair algae is probably one of the toughest things we face in our tanks.And it takes drastic measures to get rid of.

I just built my algae scrubber last night and am already seeing algae growth on it. You can see my pics on the DIY thread here.

Yote to save you the trouble I just ordered it from Aquatic Exchange. The 32oz came to about $29 with tax and shipping included.

What I am wondering is why more people aren't talking about this product if it is so great. I have done google searches and barely can find anything. Seems like some LFS use it, but they aren't trying to sell it.

My guess,Is because a lot of reefers wont add anything to their tanks thats not for calc,or something related..
Its a great product.But it does take time to do its job.And you'll have to remove as much of the algae as you can.

Yote's right in that it's not a quick fix. Don't expect the algae to disappear overnight. Marine SAT takes several weeks to work. But I think it works really well.

Well I was gonna get the 32 oz till you said that.

Ok I am getting sick of this. Bought marine SAT been dosing for 3 weeks did manual removal as much as I could. This shit is still growing. Got a hippo tang and a foxface. Hippo was sickly from day one but fface seemed ok. Now I haven't seen either of them in 2 days. Put together an algae scrubber and it looks great covered in green hairy stuff cleaning as recommended. Doing well I guess but no reduction in algae. I am about a few days from throwing out all of my rock and just having fish and sand in the tank. W T F.

 

[yote]

KNow exactly how you feel.
Have you cut back on the lights any?

 

[parrotchute]

I feel your pain, I was in the same boat with my hair algae! Keep on trucking, don't give up!
