Lighting Scheme after algae problem.....

[billy302]

I just rid my tank of nasty green hair algae and want to know how many hours per day I should be running my lights to be sufficient for coralline algae growth but not enough for crazy bad algae blooms. Anyone? Anyone?


Thanks

Bill

I'm battling hair algae right now. How did you get rid of it?

I used a phosphate absorber called phos-X and siphened out as much as I could. Also, I stopped using my light for about 3 weeks and added a dozen cortez crabs, by no means an easy thing to get rid of....
