Hi
My tank has been running for about 3months now. I am battling green hair algae at the moment.
I have tested my RO water (0TDS and 0 phosphate), my top off container water 0 phosphate). Tank water reads <0.03ppm/0ppm phosphate with salifert test kit.
I have 4 small fish in 310 litres and nitrates -<1mm and if anything under feed.
I am running a skimmer and reactor with RowaPhos.
Yet I have green hair algae and not sure what is wrong or what to do about it. The only thing I’ve read/heard is test kits read free phosphate and there may be phosphate stored in the algae which the test kit wouldn’t detect? But Im wondering why it is still growing if there is no free phosphate available or why the RowaPhos isn’t taking it out before the algae?
I’m not sure why to try next? I haven’t got a refugium and was thinking of setting one up and/or vibrant?
Thanks
