Hair algae

My rock has been in there for 2 years and I havent added any so my source would not be coming from the rocks then??

I feed pellets mostly some frozen but the fish usually consume all I put in

i travel a lot so at times my filter socks get pretty plugged. Could that be a source?

I'm no expert, but it could be the socks. I was listening to a study (BRS I believe) and they found if you can get the filter socks out at least twice a week it will reduce nitrates by 50%. Changing them more didn't have any effect.

Just by replacing them and not letting them sit there with stuff in them
