So I have been combating hair algae for over a month now. Ive come to decide that it is possibly from over feeding. My problem lies here. We have a 75 gallon tank with 2 clowns, algae blenny, watchmen goby, tiger pistol shrimp, and diamond goby. Light schedule is from 12pm to 10 pm. I feed thawed mysys/brine shrimp. I usually only am able to feed twice daily usually 4pm and then 10 pm due to work schedule. My question is we run a fluval 405 filter. We use carbon and chemi pure elite. I am thinking of removing the filter pads in the filter to possibly help with the algae, as I dont really have the time to clean the filter twice weekly. However if i knew that would get rid of it I would be willing to give it a shot. Second problem is, the algae has overtaken a majority of the rock surface area, and is starting to affect the corals in the tank. Is it ok to remove all the filter pads at one time if it is ok to remove them at all, and can I take the rocks out and clean them with a toothbrush to remove as much algae as possible? Or should I be setting up a 10g aquarium and removing the algae on the rocks in the water.
Thanks
