Hiya,

I tried a lawnmower blenny, and he never touched the HA or bryopsis -- I had both. The sea hare gobbled it all up though, along with the mag thread.
Think I had about 10 different algaes at one stage.

Here are two algae pics a week apart, only diff was the extra 10 snails. Please note that I have not scraped any algae whatsoever off the glass. It is purely down to the extra snails (added dec 30 2007)
The HA was eaten exclusively by the sea hare. Almost gone. More snails asap.



This is 6 days later -- I still need more snails as you can see. A WC would also be good, its been a while...



Q: What are your mag levels at? What about phosphate and nitrate? These influence algal growth, mag for bryposis, see that thread.

My camera doesn't take good pics, sorry lads. Better in actinic lighting. Plus I am not re-arranging my rockwork or adding much need corals until I am on top of the algae. Tank is still too new. Only 4 months old now. That's why its crap :-(

Feel free to criticise it.

regards
Conor.
