Hi everyone,
I've had a small 40 litre puffer tank running for 7 weeks. We have been experiencing a hair algae problem now for about 3-4 of those weeks, and cant seem to get rid of it. I disturb its growth every 3 days or so, but within 2 days, its covered the gravel and rocks again.
Is there anything I can add, or what would be the causes of this? The puffer is very messy, but only small at present. Is it due to his 'messyness' ?
Edit - I think its also worth noting that I have a couple of other tropical tanks that use the same water (treated tap water) and there is no hair algae problems with those.
Thanks
