Hi, I’ve been dealing with hair algae for a while. I got two emerald crabs and they were dealing with it great, they cleared about 80% of it and it wasn’t spreading anymore so i wasn’t stressing about it. We moved recently and for a week and a half i had to keep my stuff at my mother in laws house. I gave my sister in law the job of feeding the fish and exactly how much to feed. Well come to find out my mother in law put BREAD, in my tank “bc my fish were hungry” i tried to explain you cant do that and she thought it was a joke i was ticked but everything seemed ok. well a few days later now i’m dealing with hair algae all over again. I manually removed A LOT of it. I’m not 100% sure it’s hair algae as it’s very curly, bright green, and not slimy. so i’m not even sure what to do. There is also a lot of brown algae in the tank growing over the once green hair algae. here are my parameters as of today after i did about a 40% water change. i only had a zoa and a mushroom in the tank along with 2 fish, 2 emerald crabs, and some hermit crabs. the zoa and mushroom are completely closed up. any suggestions for what i should do? Tank is about 4/5 months old
