start using rodi water for top offs and for water changes. You should get a few more power heads for more flow. Phosphate reactor helps and a really good skimmer. But even if you check your levels you still might read 0 phosphates because the green hair algae is eating them up along with your nitrates. I just conquered the algae myself. Macro or cheato algae in a sump also helps absorb nitrates. Hope this helped you.Yeah I get my water from my tub but my tank has been funning for 2-3months and I haven't done a major water change in about 2-3 weeks
Here is a good battle plan FantasyReef Databases-Viewing item "10 Step Plan for Nuisance Algae Control"
turbo snails ate most of mine. But my phosphate reactor killed most of it.My urchin took care of any remaining algae I had after a 4 month battle of trying to get rid of hair algae

how big is your tank?? I would recommend using a protein skimmer unless you are doing big water changes.I don't use a reactor or protein skimmer, I used to have a skimmer but it was junk so I quit using it.
