Lichen, green and brown

[aumwantanai]

Hello everyone.
I would like to ask for help from everyone.
I have a problem with green and brown hair lichen.Which is not very attractive to look at.
So I would like to ask for help. How should I fix it?

pH Level 7.92-8.2 apex
Nitrate or NO3 1.4-3 hanna
Po4 0.01-0.19 hanna
Calcium 410-430 salifert
Alkalinity 7.8-8.1 hanna
Magnesium 1380-1410 salifert
K 380-400 salifert
salt 35-36
temperature 25.1-25.8 apex

That’s nothing to be concerned about. The tank looks pretty new. Its just part of the maturing process for a new tank. They even have a name for it “the ugly stage”. 99% of tanks experience this and there is not much you can do to prevent it. Snails and urchins are great clean-up crew for algae. Turbo snails and trochus are good for the type you have. Pincushion urchins are great too. Eventually you will get coralline algae to out-compete most of the green/brown stuff. Your parameters look good. You could maybe raise nitrate a little. 5-10 ppm is a good range to target.

What size tank?
I agree you might have to up your clean up crew, but I disagree you have to live with it.
That looks like some really short stuff I don't believe it's hair algae. Have you tried to pull it manually?

Thank you very much for helping guide me. I'll have to persevere through it.

My tank is 100 liters. I used to use a scrub brush and it didn't come out very tight.
