Coming back

[the_fish_man]

Hello everyone,
I was a member with this club in the past however I sort of "left". It's been a while since I've been on here so I thought I should make a new introduction I have a 34 gallon red sea max tank, which I have gutted the lid and replaced with LED' I have quite a few corals however I have had a constant battle with hair algae. I live in fort collins and my name is Aaron

Welcome Aaron! Curious to know why your battling hair algae.... what are your nitrates and phosphates sitting at?

Welcome back!

What have you been trying for your algae?

Welcome back. GHA is a PITA.

Bryopsis is a PITA... GHA is just time consuming.

Sea hair... nough said. When hes done cleanin the tank sell it cuz they need lots of green and a 34 gal wont be enough to regularly maintain him. Or option b is raise you mag using kent mag, male sure its kent (works far better) raise mag above 1600 and maintain it for six weeks while hand grooming. My fav option is a sea hair its natural and they work, just be aware that they are very toxic so in a small system they can nuke your tank if they die so get a really small one. Given u only have 34 gal i would go the mag route, safer and easier just get a good mag test kit and bottle of kent tech m.

Do a search on this forum we had a very detailed thread about both remedies not long ago
