So it looks like I'm starting to get some hair algae!
It's in about 70% of the substrate, and I can see all the little hairs coming out
It's also on the glass every day, but I use a mag-float to get it off when I can
Here are my water parameters
Phosphate-0
Ammonia-0
Nitrate-0
Nitrite-0
Calcium-440
Alkalinity-6.5 dKH (I believe this is where my problem is)
pH-8.0
So I did some research and a lot of people said that low alkalinity levels can cause some hair algae growth?
I did a 20% water change last night, even added some of that calcium/alkalinity 2 part stuff, and it still hasn't gotten any higher.
Oh, and the aquarium is a 70gal and has been running for about 1 month
What do you guys think?
Thanks
