Hey,
I have been having a problem with hair algae latley. They seem to be growing constantly on my live rocks, gradually over entire rocks. I have tried to get rid of the hair algae before with my hands by plucking and ripping them off. They still seem to grow back. I think the hair algae is the reason why my front glass is always covered with green algae. Every week i find myself scubbing the front glass to rid it of the green algae so i can see into the tank clearly. Is the green algae normal??? What is a good way to remove the hair algae??? Can i use a toothbrush to scrub it off??? It is starting to grow over my purple and slowly making my rocks look messy.
Also on my front glass along with the green algae there seems to be little spots of brown that are harder to scrub off the glass than the algae. There are patches of brown spots along the front of the glass. What is that??? I scub it off sometimes but it seems to just reappear. How can i get rid of that as well???
