green hair algae

I have both GHA and Cyano at the same time how do I kill them both at once?

Can someone please help me identify this nuisance alage I am having for the last 2 months now. I have an established 5year old SPS dominant system. My Nitrate is between 0-5ppm and my PO4 is 0.04 checked with Hanna URL checker. All the inhabitants of the tank are doing good. VIDEO:

I had a velvet outbreak 8 weeks ago today that killed off all my fish unfortunately, I’ve been fallow since then but for some reason had a green hair algae outbreak as well as spikes in ammonia, my phosphates , alk, cal, nitrates, ph are all well within recommended ranges I’ve been able to take...

Hi, I'm battling green hair algae in my 14g tank. I started by getting phosphate levels under control and trying to maintaining levels of <0.1. Levels creep every few days, though. It's helping but not completely. According to my Red Sea test kit, the nitrates are undetectable, which seems...

Ahhh… So I assume you have GHA (green hair algae) and you have been scouring the internet for success stories and ways people have beaten it. I was in your place 8 months ago but most methods I tried ended up failing so I’ll share how I defeated it. So here’s the beginning… I purchased a frag of...

I have a 6 month old 25 gallon AIO tank. It is constantly struggling with green hair algae. I usually hold my nitrates between 2 - 8 and my phosphates between 0.05 - 0.15. I have a small refugium with chaeto and an Aquagadget refugium LED. I feed phyto and pods daily. I feed TDO and reef roids...

Hi so I have a pretty new tank, only 5 months old about, and I have two things I am questioning. First, I had somewhat high phosphates in July they were about .48, and my nitrates have never been higher than 6ppm on my Red Sea test kit. But I have a lot of green hair algae, which I thought came...

What is this that is taking over my tank!? These are the best pictures I could get with my son’s microscope. But I figure someone out there might be able to I.D. what it is…. At first I thought dinos or diatoms because they came back worse when I cleaned them and did water changes. After...

Two weeks ago I made the worst mistake to date when it comes to my nano. I went to dose my iodine (Lugol's) and did 2 drops instead of one. Then I dose double the amount of trace elements. I had planned to do a 20% WC the following morning. It seemed to be too late. My zoas, green stars, lepto...

I’ve been battling GHA for a few months now and It’s upsetting because I got it on a frag plug from my LFS. It has only spread a little bit and it pulls off easily so my nitrates are >5ppm and phosphate is around >0.15. I have tried flipping rocks upside down to cover the GHA, manual removal...

I have been extremely patient going through my cycle and it’s been quite fun but I’m tired of it! Does anyone know when the different types of algae will start to disappear? my tank is 6-8 months old and my nitrate is sub 5 ppm. Also, how can I control green hair? it’s getting bad..

Hi My tank has been running for about 3months now. I am battling green hair algae at the moment. I have tested my RO water (0TDS and 0 phosphate), my top off container water 0 phosphate). Tank water reads <0.03ppm/0ppm phosphate with salifert test kit. I have 4 small fish in 310 litres and...

I was working on my bi-weekly water change and this week I cleaned out all my equipment in my tank. Well, when I was looking in the sump, I noticed quite a bit of either GHA or Bryprosis in the sump of my AIO. Any tips on removing or whatnot and how to keep it from spreading? I'm starting to...

Hi, I’ve had green hair algae pop up go away and pop up 2x now in my tank. The first time I did a massive water change, scrubbed everything that touches water in my tank, and got all new filter media. It’s now back and has been for about 2 months. I brush parts of my rock off and have been doing...

Okay, here goes nothing, I'm so new to this and I ask that you be kind because I'm frustrated and confused. I read somewhere that everyone needs to know absolutely everything about the tank and the way I'm running it, so I'll try my best. So, about 2 weeks ago now I noticed my torch coral in...

Hi all, engaged in a months long battle with this junk. Is it GHA or something more sinister, because I have tried a ton of things to rid myself of it. (Fluconizole, blackout (terrible idea btw), no white light, 0 nutrient tank, algae scrubber, carbon dosing, manual removal, tangs/algae...

I am having a hair algae outbreak in my 55 gallon mixed reef. Going to do a water change to help but am looking for fish to help with it as well. Whats reef safe and suitable for 55? I have a small sail fin tang which doesn't touch it currently

After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill - the story ends, you keep believing that nitrate and phosphate are the cause of your algae problems. You take the red pill - I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. This image was created by @Fish_Sticks, ©2019, All Rights...

Just discovered my Valentini Puffer going to town on a patch of gha on my live rock. I’m wondering do puffers usually go for that,? Maybe some copepods in there, hmmm

I recently bought 10 pounds of live rock with green hair algae (I got it for an extremely good deal at $.50 a pound). The rock was out of water for a day But was still moist when I bought it. The rock has been sitting in a bucket with water and a powerhead until I can figure out what to do with...

I’m starting to see what looks like green hair algae. Should I try to blow it off with a turkey Baster? Or what other preventatives do you suggest?

I have GHA beginning to overrun my tank. It is not as bad as other infestations I have seen, and I want to get ahead of it. I have tried manually removing it, but that doesn’t really work. You can’t get it all off and it just grows back. After reading about success using Fluconazole, I thought I...
