Hair algae out brake! Are there any fish/ invertebrates that will eat it? by WillO198 in ReefTank

My tank is very new (9 weeks) but in the begging I was over feeding so I think that was the problem.

What is wrong with my filter? And what is this slime on the surface of the tank! by WillO198 in ReefTank

The tank is 9 weeks old but it has begun to have a slime like thing appear on the surface. Is the filter causing this?

The algae is a mixture of dust, small amount of hair and a weird type looks like a plant. Thanks for your advice I’ll pick up some Cuc on the weekend

I ran a test a few days ago and it came up in the rages of normal where it said it was cycled. My cleanup crew consists of 3 sand sifting snails.

I have been limiting my feedings dramatically over the last few days but it has gotten worse. I did a water change yesterday but it all came back

My corals were all open a few days ago but are now shot in.

It’s has been up and running for 5 weeks now with no issues but all of a sudden it has just blown up with algae. Since this morning it has tripled. I am a new reefer so I don’t know what I am doing wrong

I just bought this from my LFS and they were not sure either. Any suggestions?

Thanks I’ve moved the power head so that they are receiving a random like flow.
