Have a 28g nano tank cycled and running for 3 months or so.
PO4 was running .25. I upgraded to a ro/DI a week ago and PO4 is down to zero
I've been battling gha prior to getting PO4 down. It has slowed down but I have now noticed some bubble algae in hard to get to spots.
I have reduced lights to 8 hours a day. Originally was at 11 but figured this was contributing to may algea.
CUC
10 misc small hermits
5 misc snails
1 sand shifting starfish
2 emerald crabs
1 coral banded shrimp
Fish
2 clownfish
1 watchmen goby
1 six line wrasse. (In qt will be for 3 more weeks)
Have a protien skimmer and using media basket with purigen and chemi pure
Been changing water 4 gallons every week and pulling and scrubbing as much gha as I can with a toothbrush
Will the algae slowly fade away or do I need to take additional steps
