I have read this WHOLE thread and I am a little confused on some of the info.
I have a nano tank right now that is filled with ALGAE and its HAIR ALGAE
I justed finished cycling maybe 2 weeks ago. SO luckly I have nothing in there but some snails.
The reason I got hair algae is from Phoshates I was used sparklettes distilled water to fill up the tank and I believe this is the brand that brought phosphates into my tank.
Right now I am running Phosguard
Anyways what I am confused on is the natural way to get rid of this stuff.
I have people telling me different things and I want to get things staright before I buy anything else.
Lettuce Nudi
Sea Hare
Turbo snails
mower Blenny
which one actually works if you say it does not work please only say so if you have tried it or witness any of these animals in person.
If you say one of those animals does work how many and how fast did they do the job.
when I went to my LFS they tried to sale me a sea hair but once I saw how big and UGLY it was I didn't buy it. but I have read they work?
I have 4 snails right now in my 8 gallon
they are 2 ceriths, 1 astrea,1 black turbo
I plan to get a mexican turbo and a few more snails. the astrea snail really is eating this stuff and so is the black turbo. but they are losing the battle lol.
I am also going to upgrade to a truvu 10gal next week.
please give suggestions thanks
