I am new to this forum. I have a 55g FOWLR, 2 blue green chromis, sally lightfoot, emerald, 2 peppermint, astreas, ceriths, 20lb LR, CPR w/ Maxi 1200, skilter (no skimming just filter pad), Filstar xP3 pumping into two carbon tubes with about 10 lbs TBPC, 2 Aqua 30 powerheads. Have recently implement TBPC carbon and Right Now bacteria to control my nitrates. I have recently upgraded from a 30 g and am recovering from an ICH wipeout (except the Chromis - lost lawnmower and yellow tang) and bountiful hair algae. TBPC has gotten my nitrates down to 3-5 in a couple of weeks and Phosguard has the phosphate at .01. hair algae is growing slower but still growing.Looking for help in eliminating the hair algae. Am looking to add back 2 percula, royal gramma, lawnmower blenny, and a coral beauty. Looking for solutions to hair algae.
