Great progress! Tank looks fantastic! What are the parameters, might be a nutrient issue causing the hair algae. What do you have as far as clean up crew?

Looks great to me. Definitely not highly enough to cause algae I’d think.

Definitely could be! They are good lights I’m sure there will be a bit of an adjustment period! But it should settle out! I’d always suggest simple manual removal and over chemical treatments and such. But I’m sure you’re on top of it!
