Hi, I have a newish tank (7 months old) its a small Fluval Evo 13.5G, and for the last two months I have been having problems with cyano bacteria. This last month, I have all of a sudden got green hair algae too. It seems to be getting out of hand :(
The water parameters seem to be good (including phosphate levels are low). Not sure what to do to get rid of both issues and how to prevent them from coming back.

Any suggestions much appreciated!
