Please help with hair algae!!
I'm a first-time APD poster and have recently set up my first planted aquarium. Everything seems to be going well (Anubias and swords are pearling a lot) except that I have a big hair algae problem. This stuff is growing all over everything! Tank specs are as follows:
75 gallon tank about 45% covered with plants
75% Flourite/25% plain gravel and sand substrate
DIY CO2
130W PC and 80W fluorescent
Temp 82-84F
4 discus, 9 neons, 2 dwarf gouramis, 10 otos, 2 plecos, 2 raphael cats, 6 cories
Dosed with Flourish, Flourish Trace, K, and Iron 2x/week
pH 6.8 KH 3-4 no measurable nitrates
Can anyone give me any suggestions on how to get rid of this annoying stuff and keep it from coming back? I can't even get it off my plants as the leaves tear before the algae lets go. Thanks in advance!
