I am 99% sure I have identified the algae in my tank as Chaetomorpha Aerea. It is a little green tuft of brittle grass that grows from a bunch. What is the best way to correctly manage this algae? I am not opposed to it being in the tank but it seems to be growing quickly. My LFS suggested that I have high phosphate and probably nitrite so I need to possibly feed less and or change the water more frequently. These will be my first steps but should I be treating/adding fish or anything else? I tried scraping the stuff off and even pulling it by hand but it is very resilient. Any advice would be appreciated. I am adding a pacific blue tang when it gets done in the qauritine tank which is a herbavore. Thanks again, ralphiedoodle
