Hello;
I wasn't sure what part of the forum to post this in but since i have a FOWLR I will post it here.
My tank has been in use for about 6 months now and I have noticed over the last month my hair algae problem is getting out of control.
After reading many posts I am guessing its caused by feeding, waste and things such as that nature.
My current setup is 120 Gallons and I have 2 fish, clown trigger and flame angel. Both are getting along great and eating very well. I have nothing but LR in the tank and I also have a canister filter.
Do i need to buy a phosphate reactor? Or a remover? Most of the posts I have read say this is all due to high phosphates.
Sorry for the questions, I am quite new to the hobby and would appreciate some assistance moving forward.
p.s I have a salifert test kit and I dont see any high nitrates/nitrites or my other tests as well.
thanks
