Dr. Tims refresh

[CoralClasher]

I've been plagued with green hair algae for a long time. Two weeks ago I got cyano and did the chemiclean treatment. Cyano is gone!! I'm currently following Dr. Tims algae plan. Used refresh twice and a 20% water change added 1/4 dose of waste-away. My phosphate went form 0.02 down to 0.00 should I continue with Dr. Tims plan of dosing more waste-away?

0 phosphates is not good for a tank with corals. How old is your tank? Looks pretty new.

Tank is four years old none of the corals have grown and acros and Montes don't last long.

The only thing that grows is green hair algae. I get some coralline algae on the glass then it goes away?

Fluconazole will eliminate GHA.

I wonder if your system may be too low on nutrients, for a 4yo tank those rocks look very clean.

What are your other parameters, light, flow?

How big is the tank?

No. Stop the waste away.

Don’t bottom out the nutrients.

120 gallon, 2 vortex mp40, 2 giesemann vervve, all water parameters are good. Just every time I add nutrition and lights the green algae blooms.
