I have a 60 cube. Been up for about 90 days. Im gaving a problem with hair alage. Nitraes 0 & Phosphate 0 . Water change everytwo weeks 15%. No cleanup crew yet. Any advice

Nitrates and Phosphates are reading low because the hair algae is using it all up. Manually remove as much as you can, and determine the source of the excess nutrients (most likely overfeeding) A good stiff toothbrush will help. If you turn off all your pumps when doing this, it will all settle to the bottom, making it easy to siphon out.

Are you using RO/DI water for top off and make up? A good skimmer?

tanks have an algae cycle... If you have algae at a few months in...this is normal.
