Well I got the BBA under control. Its all but stopped growing and I have to trim a few plants a little to remove the rest. Now I have hair algae. The tank hasn't been planted long (less than a month). My question is what causes hair algae. (I've heard so many things to make any conclusive theories) I'm guessing high iron? I use Eco- complete as a substrate. My WPG is 3.2 . Co2 is 23-26ppm. Should I just let the plants catch up and outcompete for nutrients? I have some Tetra FloraPride but was told to wait 1 month before adding ferts. The plants are growing like crazy but the hair algae is on the substrate and HOB filter outtake. Any suggestions?

So removal and patience seems to be the answer. (Funny thats the advice I give to new fishkeepers) Always seems to be the answer. Patience.
