I have a 40 gal AIO tank that's about 5 months old. I would get occasional brown algae spots that usually disappeared after a water change. Over the past week or two I've been getting what looks like brown hair algae. I didn't do anything about it thinking it would go away but you can see it's growing like crazy! I do weekly readings and my phosphates never go above 0.04. I've started applying Pura Phoslock to see if that will help. Should I do anything else? I have Red Sea NoPox but haven't used it yet. Should I also use it? I don't want to go crazy trying all kinds of different things. The Phoslock has only been going for a couple days. For CUC I have 3 Turbo snails, 3 Nassarius snails and 4 emerald crabs. For fish I have 2 clowns and 1 dottyback. I'm sure part of my problem is overfeeding. I have cut back on food amount. Do I need to do anything else? Wait a little and see if the Phoslock does the trick? Should I scrap the algae?
Thanks.
Thanks.
