[TD="class: alt1, bgcolor: #EBEBEB"]whats up you guys have a little hair algae problem, which is odd b/c all my numbers check out , 0 phos, 0 nitrate,

i dont over feed, use rodi, running dr tims pearls and they are moving freely, running carbon, running a skimmer rated for 150g my tank is a 75g with 32g sump.

funny thing is i have a fuge with sand and some rubble rock and there is no hair algae in my sump i also have cheato in there. i run a led light in the sump on the opposite cycle of my dt lights.

all animals are doing fine in the tank, i run my 42 3 watt led dt lights on the moon cycle with my apex.

temp 78, ph 8.24 - 8.34, mag 1400, cal 460, alk 10.2 salt 1.025 using esv salt from the start of my tank set up over a year ago.

what are some good natural eaters of hair algae i want to get this under control. i am looking at rabbit fish the one dot rabbit fish, khoal tang, i bought an urchin last week, and i just got a cuc from reef cleaners yesterday all asst snails , i am also looking a bleenys. i have a emerald crab in there now.

in tank now clowns, wrasse,damsel,dotty back. nem, zoanthid, frog spawn, duncan, star polyp, clove polyp. spikey star...

If you just got a CUC the other day, I'd give them time to find your HA, they should take care of it for you.
But on the other side, do you run GFO in your system? Its getting its nutrients from somewhere, and you need to remove it. Or you go lights out for 3 days.
Or its Bryopsis, and will take a bit longer to get rid of.
