My poor little tank is in the midst of a very dramatic hair algae outbreak. Richard, any advice? Here's what I'm trying so far...
1. More water changes.
2. New PC bulbs...I think waiting too long to swap out old PC bulbs may have helped kick this off.
3. Gonna test all my levels tonight.
4. Considering adding a media bag of phosguard if phosphates are high.
Is there anything besides a sea hare that will eat this stuff? If so, I have quite the salad bar. I'm tentatively planning on adding more blueleg hermits, some more snails, and an emerald crab to help my red mithrax crab tend the thick carpet of green.
Moral of the story...when they say to replace your PC bulbs every 6 months...don't think that means you can try to make them last 9 months to a year. Doh!
