Battling hair algae and caulerpa right now. Gives the tank a healthy greenish glow :rolleyes:

sorry for making you scroll across the screen :biggrin:

Christy, that color algae is much nicer than the brown! Any thoughts on why the algae is there?

because we all got defective tangs unlike you and your pigs.

It's cuz I told her a fox face would eat anything green....and she bought the colorblind one.... :rolleyes: :lol:

Looking super Christy ! :cool:

Looks great Christy!

Yes, definitely in part to the defective fish :razz: I had a bit of HA come in on some zoos and it really likes my tank. I can kill off terrestrial plants pretty darned quickly but not the same for the underwater ones. I've been doing regular water changes but haven't really seen much for results. It was kind of a strange thing the green algaes. As soon as I kicked the browns out of there the greens were a go to take over. Less competition I guess. And then an absolute explosion of grape caulerpa that I can't seem to keep up with. Within about 2-3 weeks of the browns gone the caulerpa was insane and still is. I'm pretty much beyond adding any more "herbivorous" fish at this point. I'm thinking maybe a tuxedo urchin and some emerald crabs or something.

Its scary but I kind of enjoyed pulling caulerpa and HA the other night. I think things would get boring if I couldn't mess around with my tank occasionally :wink:

diadema urchin can make a big dent in hair algea too!

Aren't those the long spiny ones that are poisonous or something?? They have a couple at our LFS.

Christy :)

they are poisonous, but I have had no troubles with mine... just dont stick yourself on the spines!

They look cool :)

Well I got a really disgusting burn from my MH the day before yesterday so I don't know if I want to risk it with a deadly poisonous urchin. I think I'd rather kill myself on regular run of the mill stuff rather than invite it into my home :p

They are pretty sweet looking though....... :mrgreen: :rolleyes:
