Hey everyone- I’m having a bit of a green hair algae problem, I’m staying on top of feeding, I’m physically removing some too, but I’ve lost a few snails and hermits in the past year, and feel I’m just lacking algae eaters.
For reference, when it comes to algae eaters I currently have 5 blue leg hermits, 8-9 nerite snails, 2 cerith snails, a conch and a tuxedo urchin.
So, do you have any suggestions for clean up crew to eat algae in a 25 gallon that will get along with my other inverts and small fish (I’m scared an emerald crab may attack my cleaner shrimp or goby/pistol shrimp pair.)
Thank you in advance!
Blurry video, just another lazy day to scrub that algae off 😅
new phase, algae😢
I have this 15 gallon tank best equipment out and there is this aleage I can’t get rid of can someone I’d it and help me ?
Just want to show you all a real life reef tank. Nobody on TikTok or IG would show their tank like this 😂. Sometimes life happens and your tank gets neglected. My tank is almost 4 years old. The Euphillia are growing like weeds which makes me happy
I am going to get back to regular maintenance. I need to buy a larger CUC and take care of this green hair algae. I will slowly get this tank looking much better.
Over growth
Thoughts on rock with the growth? Is this Normal or do I need kore cleaners?
This GHA is whooping me. ISO blue tuxedo urchin - Houston Area…
Here's my challenge with my tank. Just did a water change. I've been fighting this green hair algae since I had my 40 gallon tank. It continues in this 125 gallon. The half platform with the little zoa's and the tube on the back wall. I take it out and peroxide clean it. But the other Rock work is just to much to take out and clean the same way. My parameters are: SG: 1.025 TEMP: 78 ALK: 8.9 CA: 430 MG: 1290 PH: 8.2 NO3: 4 PO4: 0.00... now my toldstool hasn't been open for 2 weeks. And my GSP won't open because I cleaned the tube. So, I'm going drastic and I'm putting the GFO back in the sump. I hate to say how much I spent. But I ordered some New fish to help with this algae. Yellow Tang, tomini tang, one spot foxface rabbitfish, and more.
Help!!!!!, I have alot of thick algae on the sand bed and on the rock, how can I solve?

I need help. How can I get rid of this algae. The back wall is covered in a green algae, I thought it was hair algae but I’m unsure, and all the brown algae on the bottom. What can I do to fix this?
Okay I need to use some GFO cuz my phosphates are a tad high and I’m getting a green hair algae outbreak. I asked deep dive to analyze my tank size (47 gal) and recent phosphate parameters test (0.2 ppm). it recommended I use 300g and that seems like an extremely high amount. I’m scared to crash my system. A BRS video says 1 Tbsp per 4 gallons and I’m thinking of even doing half that just to start gradually. Advice for GFO first timer?
