How is the algea issue going minichops??
Just another thought on my HA issues~I've been using pillow stuffing for my filter floss~making sure it's the kind that hasn't been treated with any type of flame retardant~could this be a source of phosphates? Not sure but I'm going to discontinue using it~will use a carbon fiber instead~one made for tank filtration.

Hair Algea in my opion are the worst because its hard to get away i had it for about 3 months, i did WC and alot plus i would use the water i took out and take out the rock and scrap it off with a hard bricle brush to get all the algea off
Trust me scraping your LR with anything to ride it of HA is a big no no~did it and it came back with a vengeance~I recently started using a product called *Chem-Marin Stop Hair Algae*~so far it's working wonderfully~there's been no adverse effects on any of my corals or live stock.

really its a no to scrape LR didnt no that, it seemed to help my tank allot doing it tho, probably different depending on the tank or setup

the no no to scrape depends largly on the algae and how it is scraped / rinsed afterwords
I have been reefing from 08-2007 till 5-2011
reef tanks are like wifes you have to give them some attention every now and then
