Hi guys, my tank has phosphates of 0.02ppm and 5 nitrates. However my tank is covered with algae. After reading up, I guess that the green hair algae is taking up nutrients hence the acceptable nutrients range. I'm using rowaphos via a phosphate reactor and carbon dosing at the same time.
I'm also using a skimz macroalgae reactor. I reduced the lighting hours on my t5 from 12 hours to 5 hours and up my macroalgae reactor from 12 to 18 hours. Added 2 sea hares but don't see them eating... Any advices.? I plan to blackout my tank for 3 days (it worked for my diatom issues) and continue to run the algae reactor. My tank is 9 months old Any advices?
