I've spent several months trying to fight a green hair algae issue. I've tried adding CUC, chaeto and reducing my feeding, but I can't seem to beat this hair algae. My parameters are
115 gal total water volume
sal - 1.026
ph - 8.1 - 8.2
alk - 8.1-8.3
cal - 430-450
mag - 1400-1450
NO3 - 0.38 - 1.5
PO4 - 0 - .01
CUC - 50 snails
I've always tried reducing my NO3 adn PO4 as a way to fight the hair algae, but it doesn't seem to work. Is it possible I need to increase my NO3 and PO4? I've got a bottle of vibrant ready to dose, but i'd like to keep that as a last resort.
