Salty You propably have a Phosphate problem with hair algae. I find Blue life phosphate contorll workes very well for me and again I dose at 50% the recomonded rate.
Thanks, I will try the blue life when I get nitrates under control.

I tested after 1st day, nitrate still at 160ppm

I added the 2nd days dose. Although I ran into a problem. I dosed 20 drops and then realized that I couldn't tell if the drops fell or got sucked back into the bottle. So I dosed another 20 and I made sure 20 drops fell in the tank.

so I either double dosed or dosed correctly.


I also had to clean out the skimmer, which was particularly smelly and nasty.
