Hair algae in 32 biocube?

[davered00ss]

i'm having a major problem with hair algae in my biocube 32. PO4=0, all nitrogen =0.

I have lawnmower blenny, 2 emrald crabs, 12 astra snails, 1 fighter conch, and a few hermit crabs.

I was thinking of trying to change lighting. Just not sure how to set settings 1,2 &3?

any suggestions?

The stock lighting is horrible as far as color, too much white and red causes nuisance algae's.

I'm running stock. My aquarium is about 1.3 years old.
The only real problem I have had was some cyano when I was gone for a week using an autofeeder. I had a spike in PO4. I put in a bag of Phosguard and went dark for a couple days.
Nit sure why you are having problems with such low nutrients.
Don't run the lights more that 12 hours total. I do about 8 hours with day channel. Ramp up and down at either end, and about 3 hours of blues at the end.

Try a small bag of phosguard in one of the chamber, this works for me and are you using rodi water?
