Always read the contents on the container where it says Ash.Pellets and flakes all have it.I've added a second reactor and got the algae under control.No such thing as zero phosphates.

This maybe true, but only if you overfeed!

I also have an issue with some hair algae but only on my koralia's .. in all my tanks ive done this one (the only one that i have ever run T5 HO's is the one to have hair algae) as well as one or two bubble algaes popping up on the rocks ... thinking about getting an algae blenny to start should help so iv'e heard ...

I don't know if 6 pellets per clownfish per day is exactly overfeeding. These pellets are also .5mm big so I'm actually underfeeding.
