Sarcothelia
Aquarium Advice FINatic
I wouldn't say I am being overwhelmed by algae, but for whatever reason it will not stop growing at a manageable, but still annoying pace.
Phosphates: 0
Amm/Trates/Trites: 0
10 hour light cycle
Running carbon, GFO, using/removing filter socks during water changes
Using RO/DI water, seachem salt mix. weekly, bi weekly 20-30% water changes.
What else could be causing algae? Whenever I wipe it off the glass it comes back, I have a 300 gph return in my 24 nano (200 gph at 1 feet) with 2 adequate powerheads, so flow isn't an issue. In fact, algae growth is greatest on the rock getting the most flow.
Is there anything I'm missing? Corals are happy, coralline spreading, water is crystal clear. Is there some other fuel for algae growth?
I am going to add some chaeto to the several gallon sump if I can get my hands on it, but I still do not know why algae is growing in the first place.
It's just run of the mill hair algae but it never seems to want to go away for good.
