Tank has been cycled since Oct 8th it was spotless during cycle even after my 6 fish went in. Soon after adding LPS. My tank started getting diatoms and hair. Ita not terrible. The hair isnt super long pr bushy its fuzzy algae all over rocks lps plugs and little on sand. My po4 and no3 are now 0. Assuming algae is holding it. I tried a tooth brush and scrub the rocks inside the tank but it doesnt come off. One torch isnt looking happy and so I discovered it's the 0 nitrates and 0 phos now. I dont want to dose because it will just fuel the algae. I bought 25 trochus, 15 margaritas, 15 nassaruis when I finish cycle. Might have less now as some didnt make it in shipping and some died in tank before this outbreak. I ordered 25 astraea snails they come Tuesday.
Rock is cemented together with Marco so I cant remove everything.
Any suggestions to start knocking some out so my torch will recover.
I tried tweezers but hair is so fine it doesnt really pull it. Especially the short fuzzy stuff.
