Best algea eating fish?

[davidrupe]

I have a bunch of hair algea that keeps coming and going. What is my best option? That my Falco Hawk fish won't beat up on...

Don't know of a fish that eat hair algae. Turbo snails I have heard will eat it, I have yet to see it. I brought my refugium on line last week and I am hooking up a phosban reactor tonight and will let you know if it helps. Unfortunately I won't know if it was one, the other or both that did it. My salifert test kit has always read 0 but according to the lecture I went to at MACNA, the test kits available here don't have low enough readings to work for us.

Lawn mower blennie? They eat green hair algea?

My LMB has depleted my hair algae in about 3 weeks. It was bad in a few spots and now when it shows up it's gone within a day. He loves it. The snails like it too but they wont even touch the long stuff.

are you still using tap water?

No, I am on RODI now for umm... 2-3 months...since the last time I brought it up. I don't remember. It went away and looked great for a few weeks and now it is back. I did add a Dwarf Lion and a 4 line damsel and they could have added to the bioload. Plus, I have only been doing a water change of about 10 gal a week. It is a 92 corner.

Matt, I'm glad he's working out for you... I'm still waiting for you to stop by so I can try that seaweed you were talking about...

 

[Mr. Slippery]

Oh the kelp? not a problem... Yea man I really like that fish. He is an ugly SOB but he's fun to watch and is always hungry.

It may be hit or miss but my Foxface out eats my Redsea Tang when it comes to algea.

Does tap water contribute to the algaes?
