hair algae need help now!!!!!

Stop using crappy sink water and buy an rodi unit. Regular sink water is full of phosphates and everything algae loves. If you keep using it the algae will never go away no matter how much you take out. In another sense you keep throwing gas on the fire.

 

ph 3.2????? even gha cannot grow in that ph. i bet there is some kind of mistake.

 

thats not accurate its based on where you live ive used sink water for 3 years running and have had no issues and tested water multiple times

 

If your Tank paramaters are good I would focus in a couple of areas. Fist remove what you can from the tank sides, overflow, and powerheads. Next look into a new protien skimmer that is +1 rated over waht your tank needs. I also would use a product called bio fuel. It will rob the algae from taking up the nutrients that the algae needs to survive and will eventualt go away. and last I would spen about 50 to 60 $ on a phosphate reactor.
