I have a problem with this hair algae that is growing on all surfaces and especially on the base rock where there is high current. I thought the stuff would grow were there was a lack of current.
The tank is 3 months old and the water parameters are great.
Ammonia-0
Nitrites-0
Nitrates-0
Ca-400
Alk-3.3
Kh- 9.3
Salifert test kits
No Phosphate test yet
I use RO/DI water and Instant Ocean salt and have the salinity at 1.025
I have 2 dozen Nassarius and 4 dozen Astrea snails, 2 Peppermint shrimp, 2 Emerald crabs and a dozen blue legged hermits.
The 2 tangs are eating the algae as well as the snails but they can't keep up with the growth.
I'm hoping this is just a new tank thing. Any ideas or suggestions?
