so I have had this Algea problem I thought it was silicates but its not. So I'm starting to think my sediment filter needs to be replaced, if so could this be giving me this problem? I'm also starting to get green hair like Alger growing off some LR will this go away if the filter is the problem and is replaced. And will it hurt the polyps its growing around?

Could very well be the culprit. How have your phosphates and nitrates been lately? I would also invest in a few turbo or margarita snails for the algae you do have
