I'm declaring war against the hair algae in my tank.
First thing I'm going to try is a phosphate reactor. I was hoping the new skimmer would solve the issue, and it has helped, but not enough.
I actually have the phosphate reactor coming, but it is on backorder. As it has been for two months...
So, what else should I do? I want to get rid of the algae. I plan on upgrading from my crappy stock fluorescent lighting to 216w of T5s this summer. So, I want the algae taken care of before the new lights so I don't get a huge algae bloom.
