hey guys pretty hard to explain. i have reddish/browins hair algae growing in my tank. i understand i shouldnt be using tap water with a conditioner which is def. the problem.
i cant afford a rodi unit as of yet but i soon will purchase one.
my ammonia - 0
nitrites - 0
nitrates - 0
Ph- 8.3
Temp - 80-83 (should i lower this)
salinity - 1.023-1.024
alk - dont no. but if ph is steady at 8.3 shouldnt alk be fine. doesnt
the alk affect the ph if the alk is high.
k i guess my question is leaning towards could i use a water filtration i have in use downstairs in my kitchen its some really expensive water filtration. it is called royal prestige. i figure if i use this it will be better then using regular tap water.
what other things can i do to get rid of the algae without taking out the rock and scaring the crap out of my guys. i dont really want to use chemicals but if i have to i will. and as long as it is reef safe. k so please any information will be gladly appreciated. thanks in advance.
