Use a 3-day dark 1 day actinic combined with a refugium [once a month] plus a lawnmower blenny, say, to get that stuff consumed, pooed, and collected by disposable algae in a fuge.
Would a lawnmower blenny be too much load for my tank now as it's only a BC29? My livestock is already listed. The fuge isn't much of an option because of space and because it's quite tough to mod my bc.
