I have a 30 gal reef setup.
My parameters are:
Temp: 87-88deg
Sg= 1.025
Nitrates=0ppm
Phosphates= 0 (close)
Calcium=420ppm
CUC:
1 turbo snail
10-15 hermit crabs
1 emerald crab
1 cleaner shrimp
Fish:
1 small blue hippo tang
1 clown fish
1 six line wrasse
Coral:
1 zoa
Supplements:
Kent coral Vite, Kent Marine Essentials, Kent Magnesium all as directed.
Method/problem :
I perform a 25% water change monthly with Kent Marin Reef Salt and add 1 packet of seachem phosgaurd into the CPR return chamber of the protein skimmer. I also scrub some algae of the rock in saltwater during the water change. And clean all equipment.
The RO water test negative for both nitrate and phosphate.
Any ideas on how to control this hair algae with minimum maintenance? Can I boost my CUC or add some type of livestock? I would prefer a sustaining Eco system if possible.
