Help - green algae out of control!
If the light is shining on the glass, you can block
the light from shining on the glass.

George,
Whew...you had me worried there! Yeah, there's one spot on the rock
that seems to be a hot bed for the stuff, some thick green viscuous
algae there...but I was able to take care of that with a rubber glove
and a turkey baster (man, taken out of context that just sounds BAD).
It's mostly just the glass, overflow box etc. The snails are doing
the durndest and making a decent dent, but the stuff just seems to
grow incredibly fast...and I don't really want to end up with 200
snails running around
I'll go with the scrape it clean method, but I do have to ask: is this
something that will stop as the tank ages or is this going to be a
constant process? If it's going to be ongoing, that sea slug idea
might start to sppeal to me...
