Default Re: Hair Algae...

Alright, so today i finally got sick of all this **** algae. I got home and plugged the small power filter back in, and added some Kent Phosphate Sponge(Phosphate and Silicate Absorber). I then removed a few of the really bad rocks and brushed them off with a tooth brush and then cleaned most of the sides of the tank. I was getting little hair algae pieces all through the water so decided to stop that. I then took the big light off and put the crappy one back on, it is like 10 watts for a 20 gallon, so the algae should not like that. Is there anything else that I can do, or should i just wait a few days and see what happens. If i get my check tomorrow I am going to go get some more crabs and like 5 snails so that will help.
