Bump.
There is green hair algae (gha) but I'm not sure what else.

Im seeing bryopsis and possible turf algae.
Bryopsis, you have to get to the root to destroy it. Turf- pull by hand.
Reduce white light intensity.
Add cleaners such as:
Turbo snails
Astrea snails
Nerite snails
Nassarius snails
10 blue leg hermits

other option would be liquid vibrant dosed at 80%
is your tank at or near a window and receiving sunlight?

That’s what I thought it was too at first but I thought gha was longer than this. I actually started flucozanol treatment Friday. Gonna let it ride for 2 weeks I guess but... I’m getting tired of fighting it.

10 blue leg hermits I was thinking it cod be turf also but not 100% sure as I’ve never had it before. Bryopsis I thought was fern like. There isn’t anything that looks really ferny to me but if it is Bryopsis the flux treatment I started Friday should help with it correct?

Ok thanks! Tank is not at or near a window. I check phosphates weekly using salifert test but it’s been reading 0 for months. My chaeto want grow it’s just there. I have put phosguard in my reactor.

I would suggest taking a water sample to a trusted LFS and have them verify your phosphate
