Hello,

First post here and I am still somewhat new to reefing. I started a 40 gallon aio innovative marine tank in January. I has been going well but over the past month I have been fighting what I believe is green hair algae. I have been doing water changes and scrubbing the algae and noting is working. My parameters and other details are below.

Salinity: 1.026
Temp: 78
Ammonia: 0ppm
Nitrite: 2ppm
Phosphate: 0.04ppm
Calcium: 486ppm
Alkalinity: 8.0 dKH
Magnesium: 1400ppm

2 Clown Fish
2 B/G reef chromis
1 clown goby

2 frogspawn (one is practically dead and ill probably remove from tank today)
1 duncan coral
1 crown leather
1 elegance coral
(I feed the corals reef roids every now and then)
*All the corals took a turn for the worst this week, except for the crown leather*

Kessil a360 light
IM UV light
IM protein skimmer
Tunze ATO

The algae is really bad and any help would be awesome!
