green hair bloom

I went away for a week and had a friend watch the tank and came back and the sump had gotten low enough that it had pumped a decent amount of air bubbles into the tank before he had a chance to top off the tank.

I am assuming the extra oxygen and too much food are a reason for the algea.

I have done a water change and will be doing another soon.

I set up my phos-ban reactor to remove some of the phosphates.

I bought more astreas, nassarius, and hermits.

I have turned off my t-5's with only the actinics running for a couple of days. Today I'll turn them back on but for only 5-6 hours a day.

Any other suggestions?

Start farming macro algae in your refugium. This is a good long term solution.
