Hello everyone, my tanks been running for about 3 months now and I'm not sure if the way I started it off was the best idea because I have green hair algae everywhere and it seems to be getting worse. When I started the tank I filled it up with rodi water and mixed in the salt to the right salinity then I added live sand two days later I added 20lbs of dry uncured rock from bulk reef supply, right from the box to the tank and I also added dry rubble to the refugium. About a week later I got 50lbs of live rock from saltwaterfish.com and I added that straight into the tank. Time went by and it cycled and I added stuff little by little but there a ton of green hair algae now, almost everywhere especially the dry rock and the inside of the overflow box. The refugium is also COVERED in all types of caca algae. My buddy tells me to give it time and it'll die off but idk it seems to be getting worse and the parameters are all on point. I mean I know you can't get a clear reading with so much algae but I can't detect anything and all the animals are fine. Ph stays between 8.40 and 8.10.. any suggestions?
