I have been fighting a green hair algae outbreak, and what looks to now be turning into a Cyanobacteria battle for a few weeks now. The fish in my tank include a lawnmower Bennie, a pistol shrimp, a yellow watchman gobie and a clownfish. Also have a bunch of pods (5 separate additions from Algaebarn), 3 Mexican turbos, and 2 torches snails. I use Ro/DI water. I’ve got a 15 gallon sump going with a refugium and some Chaeto. Added an air stone, and some carbon in bags in the baffles.I just added another hang on the back filter with some additional charcoal. All the base rocks were dry rock, and the 75 Gallon tank is 4 months old. I have the light set for 7 hours, also I just raised the lights a little higher as well.
Will the majority of this mess go away on its own over time, or do I need to take each and every rock out to scrub and basically remove the top layer of sand too?
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and any and all suggestions.
