Hi Everyone,
I am starting to give up/lose the battle of trying to rid my main tank of grape calerupa. I am in my tank about 2-3 times a week with tweezers trying to get this stuff out, but it keeps coming back. It is all over everything! And I also have a crop of it in my refugium where I wanted it to stay.
So I am now considering getting a fish to do this job for me. But I have a small problem. My tank is only 29G and already has 2 clowns.
Are there any small herbivores out there that will stay small and cleanup this algae for me?
Or as a last resort could I get a baby tang and let it clean up the algae and then get rid of it before it gets too big for my tank? How fast can a 1-2" tang get in say a few months?
Thanks,
CaptK
