Lookin Good
Tank looks like it is coming along nicely.
A bit of hair algae in there I see. You have enough that I don't think a small clean up crew will clear it. I would just yank some of it out now before it goes further. I added a Rainford's Goby to my tank... and they will pick at hair algae as well as sift sand. He gets max 2" so good size for your tank IMO. AND he is a cool looking fish.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

He IS cool looking. Where did you buy him from? I was thinking of tearing out the algae but wasn't sure if I should or not. Its kinda getting outta control, I adjusted my protein skimmer so hopefully that will help out a bit.

Pull it
Quote:
Sometimes it is better to just "weed" your tank. Pull off what you can and let your CUC do the rest. I picked my Rainford up at Red Coral for $25. I don't know if I got the last one or not but I think Aquarium Illusions had some also. They are great. I was on the fence with info about it sifting or not... always conflicting info on the web... but I put him in yesterday and today he is definitely sifting my sand. And again he will graze on hair algae but I do not think he could eliminate it all as you have a good growth going on. Pull some. Keep your parameters in check and it should be fine. One thing to watch as well.... if your bulbs get older a poor spectrum can also contribute to hair algae growth. I know your tank is newer so it's food for thought. If you start seeing algae, more than normal, and your bulbs are hitting the 8 month mark or so... consider that as a possibility if everything else is in check.
