Green hair algae

[cmdrmlz62]

What can I do to get ride of green hair algae and brown algae in my substrate.

Vaccum the sand/scrub the rocks with a brush.....if its a fairly new tank, its normal part of an early reef tank. It goes away with maturity and lot patience and elbow grease

How old is the tank? Are you using RODI water or tap water?

 

[Mr. Mojo Rising]

what do you have for water movement? Hair algae growing on the sand (to me) indicates the flow is too low. How old is the tank? What are the phosphate and nitrate levels?

Tank is 14 months old, I have a 6 stage RO/DI unit and my tank is fish only.
