green hair algae

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...

Good morning all... I've been dealing with a GHA problem for a few months. My tank is an IM40. I run a single AI Prime HD (which probably isn't enough?) for 10 hours a day, but 2 hour of ramp up each way so only full strength for 6 hours. I have a filter sock in one overflow and a sponge...

I have recently restarted my tank using a large refugium and a Kessil H380. I am getting lots of green hair algae in the refugium but not in the tank. The refugium seems to be doing what it should. However, what is the feeling on removing GHA from the refugium? Just let it be or remove?

Hi All, I know this topic has been played out a million times, and I feel like I've read 20 different threads and watched 50 different youtube videos about how to get rid of Green Hair Algae (GHA), but since I value the expertise and input of folks on R2R, I thought I would ask for your advice...

I'm creating this thread to keep track of my progress using fluconazole to get rid of the green hair algae in my 24 gal cube. I posted a different thread looking for help on this and was given two suggestions: use fluc or do a LOT of scrubbing. I live in an apartment and don't have a lot of...

This is probably the worst case of gha any of you have seen and I am so ashamed of it.... When my tank was cycling, I let the algae stay because I thought the movement was pretty and liked having some color, but five months later, I definitely do not feel the same. Does anyone have tips for...

I've had this modified bio cube 29 running for about a year now and have gone through various algae battles. For the last few months however I've had this very slow, slimy, green and brown growth on my rocks. It's getting so bad that it's clogging up the filter floss on my overflow in a few...

Hi all I am a new beginner of saltwater tank. I am running my tank about 11 months. Few day back I have seen that some lime green color is spreading all over my rock. Is these green hair algae or something else. Please help to identify and how to control that. Some real picture are uploaded...

Protect your reef from algae and pests the natural way.. and Win a Baby Groot! As many of us just use chemicals to remedy issues.. there's something beautiful of curing issues the natural way.

I setup a new refugium a couple months ago. New, store bought substrate. Heavily rinsed. Used Tupperware to protect glass from mangrove roots. Added power head to increase flow because I noticed chaeto was dying. Chaeto nearly gone now. Today: green hair algae over growing dragon's...

Hi guys! I've been having a small green hair algae issue (nothing major) but, HATE the look of it. I have tried water changes, GFO, Phosguard, and less feeding with not much effect. I have been thinking about a 3 day complete black out and, I have a couple questions.. 1) Do I still feed the...
