If anyone can provide a long-term solution to my green hair algae problem, I will gladly PayPal you $50 as a reward (once solution has actually worked for a couple weeks).
Yes, that is how frustrated I am with this issue. I've even bought a BRS dual reactor for the tank, which I have not implemented due to me burning my pump for it.
Interesting note: The algae is only growing on my live rock that has been in the tank since December (start date of tank). I picked up the big center-top rock, top right, and bottom front rock all 3-4 months ago, and the algae doesn't sprout on those.
My water changes come one a week, and I am using salt water that is pre-mixed at my LFS for all their tanks. I have never tested it for phosphates (nitrates were 0).
The only filtration would be a Purigen pouch in my HOB (HOB is clear of all other media).
All other perimeters check out fine per API. I haven't ever tested my Ca/Mg/Ph
