My tank has been up for six months and about 2 month ago I had a breakout hair algae that I have been fighting with. I believe I have it under control where it is not spreading anymore or not much.
Ammonia - 0, Nitrites - 0, Nitrates - 0, PH - 8.4, Alk - 10.8, Phosphates - between 0 - 0.1
I have a 24g Aquapod w 150MH Lighting
20# LS
35# LR
Using Phosgaurd and Purigen (Replace monthly)
Weekly water changes with RO water only, Top offs are RO water only
I feed once daily, 4 x week with Formula one Pellet and 3 x week with frozen Brine Plus.
I have 2 perc. clowns and a royal gramma
1 cleaner shrimp
1 emerald crab
5 blue leg hermits and 5 scarlett hermits
I believe that the reason it started was I was over feeding and was not rinsing of the frozen food but now I under feed and for two weeks only fed ever other day. I rinse off the frozen food really good before I add it and I try to add only what I can see them eat.
I have been picking out the algae by hand but I dont want to take all my corals and live rock out to scrub.
Please any help will be great!! I need sucess stories or advice or a maricle fix any thing right now.
Thanks
