Just wondering If anyone has had this type of algae before and how they got rid of it. It does seem to be dying off slightly but im not too hopeful as I've had this for months.

It looks a bit like pale hair algae with bubbles on it. I scrub it off with a toothbrush every water change and try to do it in between water changes as well. I have been running rowaphos in a reactor for the last couple of months but I've only started seeing a slight difference now.

I usually see that in systems with little to no flow, what are your parameters?
Please tell more about your setup.
I think I have plenty flow. I have my return pump, Koralia Smartwave Kit 5600 (2 powerheads) and a jaebo sw-4 powerhead. I have tried them in different positions but nothing changes.

Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 0-1
Phosphate 0.03

Salinity 1.025

I was thinking of maybe trying nopox. I've tried growing chaeto but was unsuccessful. If nopox did t work I was thinking maybe an algae light reactor

Today's results. Are these ok? I know alk is on the low side. I don't dose anything. I'm just running rowaphos in a reactor
