Are you using this? It's far better then that ceramic crud. My hair
algae has been dying off and separating from the rock in big tufts. I
run two reactors and replace the oldest one once a month.

I still have plenty of hair algae left, but it's nice to have coraline
algae growing.

Are you dosing with kalkwasser? If not, I'd really recommend it. It's
also suppose to keep phosphates down and after the coraline algae starts
growing it will knock out the hair algae. That's been my experience.
