How to get rid of Algae
I've been dealing with hairline algae for at least 2 months now. I'm doing regular 20% water changes every 2 weeks (RODI water). I have 3 250 watt halides, which I'm only running for 3 hours per day. I'm also feeding 1x day and water params seem to be in line. Any ideas / recommedations? Are there any good products on the market that might help?

how old are your bulbs? Older bulbs will grow algae. Also maybe try to cut back to feed every other day.
