green hair algae....

how do i get rid of green hair algae... i have alot of it on my live rocks.....

[SmilinAvnger]

Cleanup crew. Snails and hermit crabs. Find the source of food for your algae first though... How old is your tank? What kind of filtration? Tank size? Water parameters?

Details my friend?

[sdnd]

get a tang if your tank is big enough!

hows ur tds on your rodi water how often water changes

oh man could be anything :/ gl

[ford4life]

nutrients/ lighting length of time/ water changes/ TDS those are all factors in algae

[apax]

sorry, what TDS..lol ... btw, i have triggers and large angels so cleaning crew is not an option due to my fishes with eat them up...
i have 2 reefbrite 60" led tech and i run them 5:30pm to 11:30pm.... i get my rodi water at AW... and i do water changes 20% every 4 weeks due to i have a large tank....

[sdnd]

Maybe you need to do water changes more frequent...try to do 10% every couple of weeks if not weekly and see if that helps...how are your parameters??

Turbos love it is It everywhere out just frags or a specific location?

[SmilinAvnger]

TDS= total dissolved solids. Using rodi water u should be good there. I would go with sdnd ' s suggestion of changing water more frequently. Are you using a skimmer?

[apax]

Yes i have a skimmer..... bm nac 8

[CMD2213]

Reduce lighting either time or intensity might be excessive atm do a water change watch over feeding add turbos and other cuc

Triggers are messy eaters. Could be making a mess in your tank with the food leading to the breakout???
