Coraline algea

[sergifed91]

Just noticed this neon green algea. Not sure if it's good or bad. Also have a lot of hair algea I want to get rid of but not sure on how to go about it. New cell phone. Bare with me if pics are awful...

We missed your nitrate reading.
One thing is you might lower your Po4 to .1 to .05
Im not sure if you missed typed it or not.
Removal by hand is the best way, for hair, along with a cleanup crew that lives on the surface it is attached too

the po4 was a typo .2 not 2. sorry. I got a tooth brush i'm using to clean the hair off the rocks. I have turbo snails and bumble bee snails that I picked up today. I also have an emerald crab also which I forgot to include. but she's MIA. haven't seen it for a few months now.

Your title of the thread say, coraline algae...
Green Coraline algae isn't neon or bright Green, more of a dull color and is the same as the purple as far as it covers rock work and glass.
