i have an algae problem in my tank. there are alot of hairy algae all over my tank and im wondering what i can do to control it. my nitrate level is at 0 but i dont know how much phosphate is in there? is there something that i can buy to help control the phosphate? i have a 12 gallon nanocube? also the water in my tank is not as clear as before, should i was my filter? or how do i get it to be clear like before?

Stop using tap water.
RO = Reverse Osmosis
DI = DeIonized
RO/DI = both
You can usually pick up RO water at your local grocery store (that's what I'm doing for now). RO/DI is much better and you may be able to find it at your Local Fish Store (LFS). Most people recommend getting an RO/DI filtration system since the cost of buying water will eventually catch up. You'll see companies selling them listed on the banner ads here on Reef Central.
