Hello All... Please help...
Started seeing a break-out of green hair algae several months after the tank had cycled and leveled out. After the GHA; came the purple crusting (spiderweb like) outbreak. This stuff usually will start to peel itself off the rocks after a few days and is easily vacuumed out during water changes. My water levels are: Am: 0, Nitr: 0, Phos: .05 and Nitra: 0. This all started when I started feed my new tangs NORI. I normally feed them (two - Hippo / Brown Powder tangs a 2" x 4" piece daily or every 2 days. Pictures below:
The last picture is a different problem I am now seeing; the front glass is being covered in two days with this brown/greenish algae. Its easy to wipe off; but its back in a few days. Note: protein skimmer is working overtime along with Chaeto.
