Question by V: Saltwater Algae Problem?
I have terrible Green Hair Algae in my 55gal tank. It’s growing on the powerheads, filter, glass, sand, etc… I bought about 20 snails, 2 emerald crabs. 20 blue-leg hermits, pencil urchin, and tuxedo urchin. The algae is not going away. I do water changes almost every week, and i keep my HO T5 on for about 8 hours a day. The algae keeps coming back. Should i buy a protein skimmer or a UV sterilizer, or what? I though about using “Phos-Buster” too. Would any of this help? Thanks for any help at all!
