Vlamingi_cont's 2nd tank

[angelfishlover]

U need to let your system stabilise/ mature. Reduce your feeding, feed lesser amt so no food will be stuck in the LR. Get some cleaning crew to help get rid of the algae initially. Run PO4 remover such as Sorb4 to absorb PO4 , and run carbon to "clean" the water. Since u have no corals, reduce your lighting period to slow down the growth of existing algae.

Suggested cleaning crew: Seahare, sea urchins (good at scraping off stubborn algae on ur LR), astrea snails.

Remember that the cleaning crew only helps to clear off the algae, you need to get to the root of this algae bloom. Improve your water quality.

I like the sea hare they don't just keep on eating and eating.They will never stop eating.

If you want scratchless then use sea hares.They are slow yet effective.They blend in with your LR too.They eat almost any algae.

I don't think so.The sea hare also loves to crawl around your wavemaker.My wavemaker is cleansed every now and then.I don't think they are like sea cucumbers.I got my sea hare from Am at around 6cm now like grown a lot bigger.Got a pistol shrimp but never saw the pistol shrimp but i know it shares the same burrow as my goby.Hope this one don't die again.

hey guys, seahare die also will give out toxic.

[MarcoVan]

Get abalone!

Really effective!

I have one inside my 10g. And trust me, it mows non stop! Even when my tank looks pretty algaeless

otherwise,

I will prefer to have snails such as cerith and astrea to invertebrates

P.S Abalone was a solution to prevent any possible chance of hair algae outbreak as there weren't any cerith snails in the market when my tank began (:
