Why do advanced hobbyist who know that hair algae is from high phosphates ask"what are your paremeters"
1) If the guy can do a test right, is the hair algae eating the phosphates fast enough to reduce the phophates...probably!
2) light smight!!!
3) what kind of fish load do you have?
4) are you over feeding?
5) and then the real question!!!
How far is your rock shoved under really deep fine sand?
This is like the number one reason!!!! Get rid of all you sand, start over with crushed coral and keep your rock from going cold and suffocating!
Bingo!
But nobody just sais it like that!!
Sorry,
I' ve had hair algae by the ton before!!!
