I am a few months into my first planted tank. Everything seems to be going fine with the exception of the abundance of hair algae (green, brown, black). Short of adding any more fish, what would be your line of attack?
To this question the lfs guy answered "iron". So I was a good little customer, took his advise and bought Flourish Iron. It's not as though I don't trust the guy, I was just looking for a second opinion being a newbie and all.
Also, if adding iron helps to battle hair algae, could a hair algae outbreak be viewed as a possible iron defficiancy?
Thanks
