Hair Algae

[Mark75g]

Just started getting a lot of hair algae. I have a 20g nuvo that has been up and running for over a year. 2 Clowns and a wrasse. Feed daily. Have Chaeto in one of the chambers. Do not have a skimmer but I am thinking if I need one. Was running 2 fluval LED fixtures which I do not think were doing anything so I just switched to XR15 pro yesterday. How often does every do water changes ?

What are your water params? Just a heads up, if you have a lot of hair algae today with the Fluval lights, that XR15 will amplify that issue!

yes I know. My phosphates were 1. All other parameters were good
