Hello everyone I hope all are well! Please I need some assistance my tank is a couple years old and I recently got an outbreak of red slime on the reef I treated it, I got it under control but soon after I have a major outbreak of green haired algae omg. It’s insane. I’m losing my mind over how bad it gets I’ve been plucking as much as I can but it’s insane. I have corals so I’ve been using reef roids and liquid coral feeder. I just don’t know what to do. Please any help would be great.

. I have corals so I’ve been using reef roids and liquid coral feeder. Keep using them and the hair algae will thrive

Roids will elevate phosphate and promote algae. Can you post a pic or two of algae under white light intensity?
