Hello, I have been having a green hair algae problem for about 6 - 8 months now. I have a service provider who has had my tank in amazing condition for years. But for some reason he has not been able to provide a solution to my problem. I'm starting to loose expensive corals, please help.
How do I attach pics to this post? I don't see a link...
