Hello all!
Does anyone know what kinda of algae this how? I thinks it green beard algae, and i need to beat it. I’ve tried Reeflux, but it doesn’t seem to have touched it. Any suggestions?

GHA and although hair algae is a broad term, it is best removed by reduction of white light intensity, removal by pulling it by hand and adding snails such as:
turbo, astrea, nerite, cerith and trochus. Emerald crabs and cariibean blue leg hermits will also be of help. Dollabella Sea hares will also clean this well.
Is tank at or near a window?

it is near a window. I am also trying to figure out how to lower the time the whites are on in my biocube.
