Your lack of knowledge on how the Nitrogen cycle works is legendary in
this forum.
I am not going to argue with such a person. I felt tempted to give you
the necessary information to answer your ignorance but, heck, I charge
people for that. Read more and get out of Wayne's World for a change.

I understood your post perfectly. You said

"The best
way to get rid of unwanted nitrogen in your tank is to harvest algae
manually not to have the vegetarians turn them back into the cycle."

It's too bad that you have not realized that the algae grazers' poop
helps encourage denitrification in the sand bed. And helps to feed the
fauna in the sand bed.

You misunderstood my post, as usual...
Read again his question and my answer.
I know, I know, you are slow but, what can we do?
Actually, read the subject of this post, poor Wayne.

Having algae eaters in the aquarium is good. The more you can make the
aquarium work for you, the better. The idea of not putting algae
eaters in an aquarium so that you can remove the algae yourself is
absurd. If one wants to set up a refugium set that up for the purpose
of algae extract, that's find and dandy, but not putting algae eaters
in the reef tank so that you can manually remove the algae is absurd.

In following replies to your post the Lawnmower Blenny was suggested
but after a few years experimenting with controling nitrates naturaly
in my tank, I found that vegetarians contribute more to increase
levels of nitrates in your tank.
You see, the nitrogen cycle changes ammonnia to nitrites, both toxic,
then the nitrites get transformed to nitrates. On this stage is when
nitrogen is less toxic and easily absorbed by algae. If a Blenny is
to eat the algae, it gets transformed again to Ammonnia and the cycle
starts again. The best way to get rid of unwanted nitrogen in your
tank is to harvest algae manually not to have the vegetarians turn
them back into the cycle.
Blennies are great fish and will eat almost any flake food. I have
to keep a refugium where I extract the algae myself.
Another sturdy species is the Clarks Clownfish.

Hi,

I was wondering whether anyone has a suggestion for a cool first
fish
to add to my sal****er tank.

This is my first SW tank, having kept small and big fw tanks all my
life. Tank cycled for a month, and i started added critters last
week.

The current inhabitats are hermit crabs (10 red legged), snails (1
turbo and 5 bumble bee), and an Emerald crab.
I had a surge of algae a week after my tank finished cycling, and am
trying to get this under control with these cleaners. I would like
to
add fish soon.

My near-term goal (next 6-months) is to add 1 clown fish, 1 goby,
and
1 six line wrasse.

I thought it would be a good idea to start with a reasonably priced,
hardy fish to start.

I have 50 lbs of live rock in a 58g. all my nitrogen params are
stable, and where they should be.

Temp is 82, ph 8.4, alk 2.6, calcium 450.

If you have any suggestions, I would be interested in hearing friom
you.

Thanks, Aroon
