I'm starting to get a hair algae in a lot of places in my 34g. I'm guessing this is because of my phosphates. I took all the rocks with hair algae on them out of the tank (except for the base rocks with hair algae). I think it was like 3 small rocks and 1 big rock that I took out. What are something things I can do to help my phosphate levels to get down and stay down? I'm not sure if I'm over feeding the tank or not. How much should I be feeding and what would be over feeding? I do a 5 gallon water change each week and do top-offs with RO. Also, I'm going to be adding some more sand in a few weeks. I want to get artificial sand. Will it cause an algae bloom when I add it to the tank? If it will, will live sand do the same thing?
Thanks! :bigsmile:
