Hair algae and unknown tenant

[RELLIK-REEF]

I use a fountain systems ro/di 150gal a day unit
I only use TM pro reef salt
With regular water changes my parameters stay great
I’ve only had a problem when my ATO was mistakenly filled with saltwater them my calcium went up and my alk went down.
But my reef is usually
1.025 sal
1420 mag
420 cal
9 dkh
0 nitrates
0 ammonia
79 temp
8.1 ph
And I do water changes 1 a month. Crystal clear in my display. I don’t think I’ve cleaned the front glass in 3 months [emoji16]

The small scarlet/red legged hermits are usually considered the best ones for sticking to the job at hand while leaving other things alone.

Thanks for advice
I use NO PO - from RS, never off lights

I guess you have too low bioload, I have 3 tangs and 11 smaller fish

I would recommend using tuxedo urchins to eat GHA, although mine is slow at eating, he eats GHA until the spot he is in is clear.

I have 20 smaller fish 2 Clarke clowns and a big sailfin tang. I had a tiger urchin in my reef but he kept knocking corals loose. So he’s in the fish only now.

Have you checked your phosphates?

Have you checked your phosphates?

Can you post a picture?

Can you post a picture?

And do you run a skimmer and carbon reactor?

Carbon in the mesh bag, It was't fun to clean up the reactor every two weeks

Try to get po down around.01
And the clean up crew should do the rest.
Great tank. Looking forward to hearing more progress from you. Any questions just pm me and I’ll try my best to help.

Today I noted another weird algae, it looks like a white fur, and appeared at the shadow sides of the rocks,
I feel that something wrong but not sure what, because my parameters r good, but my SPS are not happy now
Please help !

How is your water movement?
I still think your phosphate is to high try another test.

And I believe you’re seeing white hair algae hard to tell from the pictures
