I have had a 36 gallon bowfront with 10 gallon sump for about 4 months now & despite everything including my protien skimmer, clean up crew, and very frequent water changes the hair algae is taking over. I change 50% every two weeks often performing a 10% to 25% change in between. I just switched my salt to a reef specific salt and acclimated a bunch of black mollies from fresh water to salt water to help with algae. My Chaetomorpha in my sump has been very slowy dying with nitrate levels less than 0-40ppm at any given time and a 5500K light on 24/7. Other stats 50lbs live rock branching starburst coral, zoas, porcelain crab, cleaner shrimp, 11 blue & red legged hermit crabs, 2 trochus snails.. with all that being said I did my research. I'm using tap water & that is a big problem for hair algae or so I've read. So I bought a RODI system. The issue is when it gets here and I start my water changes it will be 7 Ph or so I've read & pretty much everything saltwater needs 8 or above. When I add the salt will the Ph go up on its own or do I need a ph booster? Is this the final answer to my algae problem or is there something else I need to be doing? Any tips & advice from those of you with experience will be greatly appriciated!
