Ok so I have green hair algae everywhere! What do I do? I have 0 nitrites and nitrates are 30ppm, is nitrates the issue? I will say my ph in a moment if that helps! I don't know what's wrong could it be too intense lighting?

What’s your lighting schedule like ? Do you have any live stock. Possibly over feeding ? Try doing a good water change decrease your lighting and if your feeding maybe feed less

So stock evo 13.5 light and 2 9w attinic strips, ordered a dimmer for the main light and gonna put it at 50% mostly for color, lighting is 9 to 9 feed 2 clowns and a wheeler goby. Does that help?

I would do a water change get out whatever algae is in there , run your lights at a smaller time schedule and avoid feeding as the algae will grow off it and higher nitrates
