sorry i know there is already heaps of threads about this but i have tried doing what i've already read and haven't had much improvement
i have hair algae so far i've cut my lights down to around 8 hours and have been feeding less every other day or 3rd day and have been trying to squeeze the liquid out of the frozen food as this stuff makes it worse yes ?
so i've been doing this for a few weeks now i used to scrub it all off the rocks but i read that it's bad to do that so i left it and it still hasn't gone does it usually take longer than this to kill it off is there anything else i should be doing ?
and also does adding a calcium sup promote the growth of this stuff ? i didn't think it would but i thought i'd ask anyway because i usually add this every week but i haven't been the last few just incase
also water tests are just as they should be all levels at 0 ph is 8.1
and i do weekly pwc's
