Will Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 I need something to dine on the hair algae scourge that is afflicting my tank. However my tank is so small that if i bought an urchin/sea hare/ lawnmower blenny/ large turbo snail it would starve. Let me know if any of you have anything i can use Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cyrus Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 buy one and trade it later? If you want you I can purge your rock of hair algae in my tank. Also another route is to get a small fish that will grow to big for your tank and trade him out. What are your Phophates looking like?

barderer Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 16 gal....take the rocks out and put them in the dark for a few days. That will nuke it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Posted May 4, 2010 Author Share Posted May 4, 2010 I would, but i have coral (zoo's, rics, shrooms, blasto, candycane) that are attached to the rock, so removal wont be an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmanning Posted May 4, 2010 Share Posted May 4, 2010 More frequent water changes, cut back on feeding, use poly filter pads and maybe cut back time on lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reeferRob Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Vodka dosing worked wonders for me, Just be careful and do some research before you do or you can do more harm than good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
