Well, I've read tons of stuff on here about hair algae and I've never had a problem with it until recently. At least I'm fairly sure it's hair algae anyway. It's most just on the substrate and it looks like grass growing.
I first suspected my Ro/di needed filters changed, so I started there. After that, I've been vacuuming up the agae and I've done 2 water changes, but it's still getting worse. Now, I have to vacuum every 3 or 4 days to keep it at bay....very frustrating.
My readings are perfect....trate and phosphate are 0.
But here's the weird part....it's only on one half of my tank...and it's the high flow side of my tank, too, and yet there it grows, just waving in the current.
I only feed three times per week and I can't remember how old my lights are, but they are around 4 or 5 months old.
Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated!
