#hair algae removal

Still learning how to control the algae

Ahhh… So I assume you have GHA (green hair algae) and you have been scouring the internet for success stories and ways people have beaten it. I was in your place 8 months ago but most methods I tried ended up failing so I’ll share how I defeated it. So here’s the beginning… I purchased a frag of...

I have a 6 month old 25 gallon AIO tank. It is constantly struggling with green hair algae. I usually hold my nitrates between 2 - 8 and my phosphates between 0.05 - 0.15. I have a small refugium with chaeto and an Aquagadget refugium LED. I feed phyto and pods daily. I feed TDO and reef roids...

I have been extremely patient going through my cycle and it’s been quite fun but I’m tired of it! Does anyone know when the different types of algae will start to disappear? my tank is 6-8 months old and my nitrate is sub 5 ppm. Also, how can I control green hair? it’s getting bad..

Hi R2R my tank is about 9 months old and I had a really bad hair algae outbreak after i moved the tank about 3-4 months ago. since I have balanced the tank (parameters below). The algae isn't growing or spreading anymore and I just want something to get rid of all of it. I have around 30 dwarf...

Hi I just wanted to share my progress with dipping a zoa frag plug in hydrogen peroxide 3%. Never done it a so a little nervous.... So I bought a gmk a couple of months ago and hair algae grew on the plug so I used a toothbrush and removed what I could by hand but it keeps coming back so I...

How do you reign in red slime and hair algae from a previous bloom? I haven taken all the steps now to prevent it but I still have exsisting slime and hair. The tank is 75 gallons and I do about 10-15% weekly water changes. pH around 8-8.2. Nitrites/nitrates/ammonia always test 0. Calcium...

I have recently had a spike in my phosphates & now have a bloom of hair algae. I have had for months now, a tube anemone and it's grown nicely, however, things that get too close get stung. Yesterday I picked up a sea hare from my local lfs & noticed last night there is a nice clump of hair...
