Hi,
Ive still got that hair algae problem. My tank is 3 months old and the water tests show everything normal (I only have test strips)..no phosphates present according to that. I only have 4 small fish and 3 soft corals in the 90 gallon tank. The local shop says its because thers still phosphates, but the hair algae is using it before testing. I put phos-ban in my canister filter on saturday and used some chemical phosphate buster on sunday and cut down how much I am feeding them. The hair algae is still going strong at this time. It looks like it might be getting lighter, but not sure. How long does it take this stuff to die? thanks
