![]() You also could think about your feeding regiment. How much food? How often? What kind(s) of food. If you feed frozen foods what is your method?

![]() Plenty of good advice here. But here's some more: some people (including myself) find the pejorative use of the word "gay" to be extremely offensive, and it really isn't appropriate on a public forum like this.

![]() Find something that will eat it. I.m not sure what's eating it in my tank, but something is. Try Mexican Turbo Snails, and an Abalone.
Run a refugium with macro-algae. Use a 5500K bulb or so to encourage the hair algae to grow in the fuge and not in your tank. Run 1200K bulbs or higher on your display. Use GFO! Hair algae needs phosphates to grow. |

![]() His tank is going through a cycle....
He set it up not even a month ago so this is normal just let it ride out the cycle then either put a seahare or golden rabbit fish both great for manicuring a tank.

![]() I'm having hair algae for my tank as well.
My tank is also newly setup, and I came back from a 1 week trip finding my light timer was stuck at on. It looks like a planted tank.. I've bought a sea hare and lawnmower blenny and I am seeing some improvement already after 3 days. |

![]() I don't know if I would switch to tap water. That could make it worse. Tap water will still always have much higher nutrients/TDS than RO water. Even if your filters were old or not working properly. The RO unit is not the problem I don't think.
