Hello all!
I think this is green hair algae. I usually do brush the rock once a week to keep it short. I just got more inverts so that will probably help.
My tank is less than 2 months old and I know new tank uglies happen. I am just wondering at what point should I get aggressive with it. I know algeaside treatments exist, but I worry that will lead to an outbreak of something that is harder to treat and less beneficial. What else can I do?
My parameters:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: been 2ppm for 3 weeks or so.
Phosphate: doesn't show up on test or human error
pH: 8. Got a CO2 scrubber to help. When my window is open often, it's 8.2
Alk: 8.7
Ca: 380
Mg: 1280
(Ignore the dirty glass lol. It's just dried salt drips.)
Thank you all!
