Too much algae?

[krschulz]

My tank is 6 months old and I have yet to have a problem like these pictures but my sea hare is doing quite a job in keeping everything quite clean. My humble opinion is that no tank should be without a sea hare for algae (hair) and a dragon goby for cyanobacteria overgrowths.

Is this your first SW tank? Algae issues are a sign of poor water quality, and getting a critter to eat the algae does nothing to fix the root of the problem, which should be addressed.
