Have got Ca and pH under control by adding the (2) part Ocean Blend once a week--Ca 80 ml and Alk 42 ml. But now a new problem exists which is hair algae that seems to be very slimey when removed by hand. It has started growing pretty rampant, but especially on back of glass. I have a lot of critters working on it but to no avail. What is the problem? Is it chemically related?
Here are all my readings:
sg----------------1.027
Temp------------ 79.4 deg
Photo Period--- 4 hrs
Lights------------ 440 watts (2) day and (2) actinic/3 months old
NO3-------------- 0/ppm
NO2-------------- 0/ppm
PO4-------------- 0/ppm
Ca---------------- 390 ppm
Alk---------------- 7.9 dKH
NH3/NH4-------- .014 ppm
Feed flake food---- (1) per day (very small amount)
DT's------------------ (1) per week (2) tbls
Froz Brine shrimp-- (1) per week (1/2 cube)
