I have a small shrimp tank that had a problem with black hair algae. I’ve revamped the tank, new substrate, less light, changed plants, etc. I have my same sponge filter in there though and it has black hair algae growing on it. Am I better off just replacing that filter? It’s also growing on the end of one piece of cholla wood. Should I remove that, too?
