Been out of the hobby for a decade or so.. finally made in back in .. but man I don’t remember it being so hard lol.. I have a 92 gallon corner tank . Salinity 1.026 nitrates are reading zero . Phos .25 -.50ppm according to the drop test.. now here’s my issue .. I used to vodka dose .. so I did this according to a chart I found . Probably why my nitrates are reading zero. Problem is I have a hair algae outbreak and now a little cyano. I temporarily paused vodka dosing thinking it was too much . I was only up to 1.75 mls. I hate about 110 gallons total including my sump. A bubble magnus curve 7. So it’s overkill. But hey maybe I wanna upgrade someday lol.. anyhow. I have led lights on about 8 hrs a day. My bioload isn’t super heavy. I have a few small chromis and a small octopus . A decent cleanup crew .. I’ve been manually removing hair algae and scrubbing with. Toothbrush ..I have an mp40 for flow . And I move it around recently to try and kill the hair algae. Any ideas of what I can do? The tank is maybe 2 months old now . So not super established . I bought live rock from a guy. He had it sitting in a tote with no light, just an power head for a long time .. any tips would be awesome !!!
 
Yeah I have 2 urchins .. and I do have corals .. so I kinda need the light .. I could cut the light cycle down a few hours
