Vodka dosing hair algae ?

[evanjah1]

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 !!!

Does you crew include an urchin?

Do you have corals yet? No light needed if you dont, and the algae will not grow without it.

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
