Hello all my fellow reefers, I made a post about my startup not too long ago. I started my tank on July 14th of this year I haven't had many issues until now. I am having a problem with hair algae and an orangey-brown tint that covers my sandbed. I assume it is from the light, I am currently using the stock light that comes with the cube any suggestions to help fight off these algae attacks? I do a 10 gal water change once a month. I have a product from the red sea called "algae management" I've done two dose's of 2 ml so far 24 hours apart from each other.
I do have a hydra 32 HD for my tank I'm just waiting to build a plexiglass lid so my fire goby doesn't jump out. I am not using a protein skimmer at the moment I do have a costume one that I've made using a Hydor 65 but I am waiting to remove the lid before adding this to the tank
