I've been over run by hair algae and my phosphates are at 1ppm. Our rio was about to start sucking air in our wet dry and once it's stopped there is no telling if it will restart. So in a moment of desperation I added half a gallon of tap water. Big mistake. So I was wondering if the phosphate filter pads do a good job or if there was anything else I could use. It's a 50gFOWLRLS 11 turbos and 22 blue leg hermits but they don't seem to be helping w/ the hair algae. I've also started to add some caulerpa but it's hard to come upon a good amt. of it around here. For some reason the stores don't carry it. Rest of the water parameters are ok 0-0-10 pH 8.2, temp 80 SG 1.023.
