keith2816 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Recently bought a sea hare and proved quite effective in cleaning up the algae. But a problem comes Sea Hare pass out a lot of waste and they scattered all over sand bed. One problem solved but another problem comes out with the waste. Anyone can advise?

SRC Member jyoon Posted October 8, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hi Bro This is normal for Sea Hare to produce lots of waste. If your Bio system is effective, it should convert the waste very fast and not to worry.The only problem I encounter for Sea Hare is that not enough to feed it....that mean no more algea. Thus its a good practice to share the sea hare between 3 -4 reefer and each one have it for a week or so. This is provided you are able for take it out from your tank. For smaller tank like 2 * 1 * 1 tank, then it is easy. For larger tank, it will be a chanllege to take out the sea hare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RockyBoy Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Quite pity for the fate of seahare. Always die of starvation, got suck into the wavemakers etc. Those of you are going to get one, pls think through on the environment that the seahare is going to be, not just to rid of algae.

SRC Member Thexder Posted October 14, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted October 14, 2009 I never had any luck with sea hares. All died within 1 week. I'm using abalone, sand dollars, urchin, turbo snails as my cleanup crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuEl Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 If seahares die within a week it is most likely due to insufficient acclimatization, either at the LFS/farm side or at the buyer's side.
