Tank is 3 months old (waterbox 10) and I Currently have had a UV sterilizer running for the last two days, but I’ve been having an issue with green hair algae. Yesterday, I noticed a copepod explosion, and at the same time I noticed white stringy algae coming up everywhere. Any ideas?

Help us help you by you providing details of your tank. If you started a tank journal with details, then your tank start up information is all in one place and not a bunch of different threads.

Information like how did you cycle your tank?

What livestock have you added?

What live rock did you use to seed your tank?

What CUC have you added to this tank?
