My tank is not there yet. But what most tell me that I am next on the hair
algea list . I plan to plumb in refugim where macro algea will be
competing for nutrions with all other nuisance algea. I just hope it wins

Good luck with your battle.




TekCat, I went with the clowns first up b/c they are tougher than most
fish and these ones are tank bred. I have nothing else in there yet as the
shop I purchase from has it's main supplier in the middle of moving and
there has been a very limited stock for the last 2 months. That shop is 2
1/2 hours away and is the nearest to here. I'm going to email him the rest
of everything I want and then let him know when I will next be down and he
will try to have it for me.

I could really have done with some snails as I have a hair algae problem
that I spent about 8 hours on yesterday. My phosphates and Nitrates are
zero as is the ammonia and nitrites so the only other cause he suggested
would be the gunk left in the sand from the live rock curing.

My main problem now is I'm sort of all "read" (red) out. I just can't read
another thing for a few weeks and I'm a slow learner.

Good luck when you get yours.
