I know it's all a balance (fert/Co2/lighting) but I recently had some shop advice from a very knowledgeable sounding worker who kept a planted tank. He said our local water contains so much P and that by dosing a full NPK and Micro that this will boost P by such an amount that hair algae is generally promoted. He then told me thats why I have it (without me telling him!)
He went on to say my options to gain full control are to cut out dosing P or run RO water and use a full fert and as a last resort, stock the tank full of plants in such a way that they mop up this excess.
I cant find anything on the net to support this excess P and hair algae evidence though. Does it sound plausible?
