OK so my tank is about 2.5 months old now and I cannot seem to get rid of the hair algae or what I hope is diatoms, I did have a massive
cyano outbreak and treated with chemiclean just once and it seemed to take care of the
cyano, however these huge brown spots are now taking over and the hair algae won't stop.
I have a long spine urchin, two crabs, 3 astria, about 5 large and 5 small nessarius snails, 2 cleaner shrimp, two yellow bellied damsels, and several coral. Most of the coral seem to be doing very well , and when I test my water it is 0,0,5. I had a .5 phosphate about two weeks ago so I got a phosphate reactor and phons ban, I will test phosphate tomorrow at
LFS but I don't believe it will be an issue.
Do I need to do anything? Is my tank just still young and having issues, I don't want to add anything else until I can get this tank under control. Any and all helps greatly appreciated.
Here are the pics.
