Hello everybody,
I have a marineland 39 gallon cube reef tank that has been setup for almost a year now. I currently have 7 corals (2 tree leather corals, a single candy cane, a nice size hammer, some gsp, a duncan coral and a branching pavona). My fish are: a diamond goby, lawnmower blenny, 3 clownfish and a bluegreen chromis. Which I only feed twice a week and my corals I do not feed. My equipment consists of: a kessil A160WE with the hard mount, a skimz sn 123 monzter protein skimmer, a coralife 9 watt uv and an aquarium solutions chiller. A few months ago I encountered a hair algae problem and thought it was no big deal only being in a few spots in the tank. long behold a few months later (present time) I have an outbreak! I have tried a tank blackout for a for a few days (kinda nervous with the corals), picking it out only to have it grown back in a week, i have tried chemi pure elite, I have tried the poly filter and water changes out the yin yang but nothing seems to be working. I have tested my water and everything is perfect according to my tests and the ones at the LFS, Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate and Phosphates all being zero. I have even purchased the 37 gallon cube reef cleaner pack with the hermits from ReefCleaners.com in hopes of that helping. I am at my wits end with this. Any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks
