Hi
I have been getting some hair algae recently,mainly on some wood and on some plantsMy lighting is 4 x 54w T5's,I have reduced my photo period (my tank is 6ft x 2ft x 2ft)to 6 hours daily for one pair of lights and 4 hours for the other two.I checked my phosphate level (I know that test kits are not very accurate,but guessed it would give me a pointer)it indicated I had about 1.0 mg/l,which could lead to nuisance algae.My question is,does anyone on here use a phosphate reactor,if you do, do you rate them,
Cheers
Rudi
