What is the actual cause of green hair algae?
I have read so many differing opinions on this. Maybe its all of the below:
1) high nitrates
2) high phosophates
3) Out of balance nitrates and phosophates (redfield ratio)
4) high silicates
5) Not enough CUC
6) Too much light
7) All of above
8) something else?
I see peoples tanks with say nitrates of 4 and phosophates of 0.4 and they don't have hair algae.
