Hey Guys,
I converted an Aquaclear 500 into a mini refugium a month or so ago. I've got live rock rubble in there and the cheato is growing pretty good ( does better once i trimmed it to a smaller ball). My question is whether or not to remove hair algae that is growing from the rock? It's getting pretty long but not causing any problems....I am still dealing with substrate bubbles and an algae bloom (brown dust on sand), after getting a t5ho light fixture and have performed two water changes (taking members good advice) My nitrates have dropped from 40 to less than 20 and I plan another 20% change this weekend...I'm thinking about adding some mushrooms this weekend...is that OK? I wanna see something growing other than my cheato...I have two oscellaris clowns (doing great) and am holding off on adding any fish, but am considering options if all goes well....
