This is all quite interesting. When I started my 20 nano I used an uncured LR. It worked very well to start the cycle, but shortly after I had a spike in nitrates which seems to have resulted in a hair algae outbreak. I got some turbo snails, added a nitrate sponge and did some water changes and the hair algae is gone. Very quick and effective cure, however I still seem to be battling a small red slime problem, and I can't get a hold of it. Parameters seem fine, water qualities good, and the talk is barely stocked. Any thoughts on a situations like this?
