Sounds nice, big fuge!

How are you attacking the hair algae issue? Do you know what caused it, or can we help you figure that out?

Dosing Algaefix marine at 8 dose and stop. no result, except my chaeto is crumbling and red flame algae is pale.
4days black x 2 times in 1 month no result.
Using BRS gfo on TLF 150

issue is my tap water have 2.03 PO4 test w hanna checker.
out of RODI 0.03 Hanna checker.
TDS read 0ppm before membrane and DI.
I have BRS 150G RO-DI unit with booster pump 70-80 PSI
Dont know what to do!!! im feed my fish and coral once every 2-3 day.
Hope the black hair algae will die off soon!!
I guess my LR leaching PO4, hopefully it will stop someday.:sleepy:

Any advise please help

if tds is 0 coming out of unit, it probably is your reservoir contaminating it. try cleaning with vinegar rinse and wipe dry. good luck and welcome.
