Need help for clearing down hair algae

[nyeehsien]

hi all, I recently went for holiday for a week and went on auto feeder. When I am back, tank is full of algae. Been trying to solve the problem. Added an ATS to try to suck nutrients. Any recommendations to help?

I have a similar issue

Do you have a CUC? What's in it? How big is your tank? How old is your tank? Do you have corals?

I have some LPS. 2 clams. 3 cardinals, 2 chromis, one yellow tang, one long nose hawk fish and a dart fish. CUC consist of 10 asters snails, one abalone and recently added seahare.

I also added an ATS to the sump recently. Hopefully this will help.

Tank is 3ft by 2 ft by 2.5. Prob about 100G.

How old and how big is the tank?

I could be wrong, but it seems like this may be a fairly young tank and you're just stocking it a little fast.

That algae might be nothing to worry about in that case. The SeaHare and ATS would both be advised against if the tank is young.

Let me know!

Tank is relatively young. About 4 months. I didn't even realize that I was stocking it too fast. Thanks for the reminder.

Please teach me. I am relatively new in marine tank.

Why is the ATS not good for a young tank?

Seahare is probably not good cos it is not friendly to seahare as it will die off once it has finished eating. Am I right?
