I have a 36 gallon freshwater Bowfront with a Coralife dual light fixture.The bulbs are colormax 31W T5H0 and the other is 6,700K T5HO.I have a sanded bottom with a lot of live plants.
I'm getting hair algea on my plants and it wont go away.I run my light for about 10-12 hrs a day.Tank sits across the room from a window but I have the shaded turned so the light isn't hitting it directly.When i'm home and it's pretty light in the room I will turn my lights off until the sun moves.
I was thinking my light might be to close to substrate or I have the wrong bulbls in it.I have Oto's to take care of the other Algea I get.It's just the hair algea I don't like.Is there also a fish that will eat this alge?
