HELP!!! I'm having a killer outbreak of Hair algae in my 90 gallon. I have traced the cause to high nitrates and phosphates. I have cleaned out all my filters and have done multiple water changes but they don't want to go down.
I was reading about vodka dosing lowering nitrates and phosphates and was wondering if it would also help me with my hair algae if I was to get something that would feed on it as well, ex. tangs, belennies. I have a ton of hermit crabs and a bunch of nails, but they done seem interested in the stuff. I also have 2 dwarf angels that don't look twice at it.
I need to get it under control , but I'm not sure how I can. I'm almost ready to throw in the towel.
