I used to have a ton of HA in my tank before I got it to where it's at now. You can keep buying livestock all you want but HA can easily be controlled through water parameters....what are your readings for nitrate and phosphate? My guess is high and if you don't remedy the parameters, you will never rid yourself of HA.
