Hey everyone! I’m looking for some advice on my 3 month old 100g. There has been a big bloom of brown algae/diatoms for the past 2 weeks & now I’m seeing fast growth of hair algae. I understand that this is common in newer systems & will likely resolve itself with time & routine maintenance. My phosphates test zero, nitrates test on the lowest range, & there’s zero ammonia. My skimmer has been running & I’ve been physically removing the hair algae along with weekly water changes (using RODI).
My question is... is it worth adding a media reactor for GFO & carbon or better to just ride it out? I was thinking of purchasing the dual reactor from BRS.
Thanks in advance for any insight & advice!
