so i went through a cyno algae outbreak which has seemed to disappear now i have green algae pretty sure it hair algae some spots just looks like fuzz.. is this ok, will it go away or should i do something to get rid of it?? also have this growing out of a peace of LR if the pic isn't to clear, its maybe about 1 inch long flapping in the current looks like the stem is brown with clear/white pices branching off from steam.. Think i can explain it that way lol.. heres the pic.. also down below pic my most recent water test and my light hours..




PH - 8.4
ALK - normal between 1.7 & 2.8
Ammonia - very close to 0 cant get a very accurate number
Trates - 0
Trites - .05
Phos - little under .25
Cal - 440

my lighting scheduel is: atincs lights come on at 11am and stay on to 10pm
my 10k lights come on at 12pm shut off at 9pm

is this to much light which is causing the green algae?

What kind of lights? Getting algae is a normal part of the cycle. If you can manually pull some that will help. Skim wet, be careful not to overfeed, and if you can run a phosban reactor can all help to get rid of the hair algae. Oh yeah, don't forget good water changes with RO/DI water and a good salt.

Try to cut down on the white light from 9hours to 6 to 7 hours.
