2 of my large snails died last night that I have had for a couple years. I have been fighting green hair algae for 2 months now with 6 hours of light, phosphate sponge, Chemi Pure instead of just carbon in the Hot Magnum, uped the alk to 3.7. What am I doing wrong???? My corals are dying also...

I feed my tank with photoplancton (Snow) and was wondering if this Microalgae will help kill off my Macroalgae, the green hair algae that is a bad problem in my tank. Or, does is make the green hair algae to grow more?

Beth, where are you? You helped me a few years back and I know you are an expert on any tank problems.

First I started having red hair algae. It mostly brushes off. Now, I have green hairy algae that does not want to come off. It is growing on my LR, feather duster, and corals. Any ideas?
