 Ay ay ay algae issues yet again. i was hoping this would settle down after a month or so, but it seems to be a never ending problem. (my tanks been established for a good 3 months) hair algae is now settling in. anyone know what the problem is? i feed once a day and do NOT over feed (i let them eat for 30 seconds). i also use RO water//instant ocean salt. anyone got an idea? i don't think its phosphates, but possibly silicates? my lights normally on for 10-12 hours a day. its a bit powerful, but sheesh its killing me here.

| Re: Ay ay ay im going crazy with algae too. 12 hours a day seems to be too much when you got MH. so i'm slimming back to around 7-8 hours instead. if i see any improvements, i'll let ya know!
