OK....I have some hair algae growing on my LR. I just added a Precision Marine Bullet 2 skimmer on Friday to replace my old counter current, so I know it will take a little time to effect anything with that (although its kicking out gunk already) I have 0 nitrates and phosphates in the tank, I only have 4 fish and hardly feed them,I have 2 250w MH on for 5 hrs a day and 2 110w VHO actinics on for 6 hrs a day. The tank is a 75g with 100 lbs of LR and a 40 gal sump with another30-50 lbs of LR and a 5" DSB in the sump. I cant figure out why this algae is growing,what nutrients could be there if the phos and NO3 are at 0?
I have heard about silicates from LFS, I have not tested, any thoughts or ideas???
Thanks
