Hi,
I´ve been fighting hair algae for a year. I tried everything, then i found my KH was too low (4,5 dkh) and calcium too high (550). I tried to put things right. So i stopped adding kalk and started dosing Seachem's Reefbuilder. I had to dose lots of this product to reach 8 dkh, but, when i stopped dosing it just for one day, dkh fell around 1 or 2 dkh. Then I realised calcium fell to 280, so i restarted dosing kalk through my kalkwasser reactor. Now calcium levels are fine at 420 and i still can't get my alkalinity higher than 7,5 dkh. I stopped dosing Reefbuilder and i am now dosing C-Balance: 30 ml part A daily 60 ml part B daily (I want to get my alkalinity to 10 dkh and mantain my calcium levels) I have tried water changes and didn't solve the problem. KH isn't getting higher. By the way, i have a Deltec Fluidised Calcium Reactor (PF600). It's outputs a 40 dkh and a ph lower than 7,5. This calcium reactor doesn't seem to help ![]() Hair algae persists. What should i do? Add more part B of C-Balance? My tank is 180 gallon with mixed SPS and soft corals. 4 small fish. DSB and lots of live rock. Some coraline algae grows behind the rocks. I have a huge efficient skimmer (Aqua-Medic Turboflotor 5000 Multi). Than you for your help, Reefman |
