Help! All I see is green hair algae all over. My tank has been going for about 4 months and this algae problem is about 2 months in the making. When I first started the tank I used filtered tap water. Since then all my water changes have been with RO. I try to suck it up and last week I did a 15 gallon water change and took all the live rock out and scrubbed it with a tooth brush. My tank looked great for about a week and now the green hair algae has returned! I have a bunch of snails,hermits and a lawnmower blenny but nothing seems to help!. I don't feed much, just a little bit every other day for my 2 clownfish. How else can I rid my tank?
Green Hair Algae must DIE!

Welcome to the club! Read this thread I started some time ago on the subject:

what are your levels? (including phosphates)
what are you feeding? how often, and how much?
what size tank and what live stock do you have?
did you get used bulbs that were very old?
is the tank in direct sunlight?
do you have a TDS meter to see how good the RO unit is doing?
