So my friend is having a hair algae problem and I thought I'd post it on here to see if you guys could help.
k, this outbreak has occurred because I haven't been home much. Basically, everything in my 10g is covered in this stuff
The problem is, all my coral in that tank (shrooms basically) are anchored to the rock, otherwise I would just chuck the old and bring in some new LR. Now I've tried adding more snails, it worked for like a week, then the algae came back harder than ever, no lights on, covered in a towel for 3 days, that didn't solve anything, and major w/c, but that just makes it look more orderly...
I know that one of my problems is that my skimmer sucks, don't get the fission, so I'll have to put out some dough to go get the rio, which is working great in my gf's 10g...
but my question is, what else can be done to curb this plague? any advice is apprieciated... sigh
