My tank has just been over run with hair algae.
Green with blue tips. It pulls right out but leaves behind little strands that come back within two weeks.
It first started on my power head and now its just every where.
Things I have done to try to get rid of it.
Rip it out by hand( Just comes Back )
I have gone through 3 Blennys( Just lost my third)
Different types of Snails, Crabs, Emerald Crabs,
Cut my hours back from 12 to 7 hours.
Sea Hare.( Best Thing Ever)
Now the Sea Hare has probably been the best thing, this guy just rips through it but it comes right back. I dont know if I should give the little fat guy some more time. I have had him from atleast a month now.
I did have my lights running for about 12 hours and then cut them back to 10. I just recently cut them down to 7 hours and hopefully that wont effect the corals to much.
If anyone can give some good advice I am willing to listen. Thanks guys.
Don Vito.
