Re: Green hair algae

There are lots of things that will help, but more importantly is finding the root of the problem and correcting it. Nitrates and phosphates are the two key contributors. Clean-up crews help manage algae, a tang can be helpful, foxface rabbit fish can help, etc. But more importantly is finding the problem.

Happy Reading!
