There's a tuff of hair algae coming out of one side of my acan, and it looks like it might bothering it and it's baby heads. Any tips on how to get rid of it?

Peroxide dip and toothbrush off what's left. I've never done an a can but I'm sure it will be OK just make sure it is closed up before dipping it.

peroxide not good dip for acans but will kill hair algae (usually only use on zoos) they don't like it you can revive dip , come by my shop I have a dental tool I will give you to scrape off :) good luck you can always squirt with tech m as well that my piss off the algae and slowly kill it

Is the hair algae the reason why it's not opening up more or is that more related to water quality?

This was it about a month ago

Is this picture quality or something? The first picture looks a lot clearer than the other 2 pictures. You have cloudy water?
