|   I used tap water in the southern Saskatchewan area and got mega hair algae.  Now I use a 4 stage RO filter for my drinking water and reef water.  Works pretty good.  I have some hair algae, but so little that I can't tell if it is from the water or from food/critter waste.  I also don't run any filters other than carbon, not even a sock. |
