I know the nutrients are out of wack. I haven't been able to change the water in ages because my sink has been broken. It has been fixed now so i can do that. I have been using EasyBalance from tetra, and and a nitrate sponge. The nitrates are still around a 100ppm. I added a bunch more plants to see if they'll help.
I finally got rid of all of the guppies and added 3 juvenile SAEs. I hope everything will work out now.

EDIT: before the hair algae i was fertilizing with flourish trace twice a week, discus trace once a week, and flourish once a week. I've stopped all that for the last few weeks. I plants look like they might be suffering a little from it.
