Blowing of rocks???

[Jaketit]

So as usual I have some brownish hair algae growing on my live rock. I use rodi water on water changes. I do a 5 or 8 gallon water change a week on my 55 gallon. Everytime I get my water tested the lfs says parameters look good. I don't overfeed, I have LEDs,why is this happininng.

I don't know if I'm not blowing my rocks off enough. I just don't get it. 20 gallon long sump/refugium with chaeto. 2 800 gph power heads. I little bit of risidual light. 6 emerald crabs, a few blue leg hermits. Protien slimmer. I'm just done with this shiznat.

Sounds like your doing everything right to me, how long do you keep your lights on for?

How long has your tank been running?

How long has your tank been running?

15 months. I've had to pull rocks apart in the past few weeks to get fish out . I'm sure I've stirred stuff up but I've been battling this for awhile now. I'm always tooth brushing rocks out of the tank to get it off, to no avail , comes back like 2 days later. It's not huge but annoying.
