I currently have a clown and yellow watchman goby. When I had the coral beauty the clown was the one doing all the chasing.

How was that dwarf angle? I was looking at your pictures in that thread and was meaning to ask. I had a bad experience with a Coral Beauty, even though it ate a lot of the algae in the tank.

How many lbs of lr do you have in your tank?

Yes that is what I read. But I also need something to stir the sand but I got a pair of snails to do that so I will see how they do. I'm going to increase water changes and do a little more algae scrubbing.

Which type of cucumber would you recommend?

Well I got the standard hair algae and some brown stuff that grows on the side of the tank that comes off easily.

So I will get a couple more snails. Any particular ones that would be better than others? I don't know how I feel about a cucumber in my tank quite yet. Maybe when I feel more experienced, so I will see how a Tuxedo Urchin will do first.

I did remove the sponge and bio balls and turned the back into a refugium with Cheato (spelling)and live rock. My parameters are alway spot on and I do water changes every other week. I should probably do it once a week. I have 5 hermits, 2 snails, various sps and lps corals (all of which are...

I have a 24g Aquapod. The stuff is growing in my sand bed that I pull out with a net and on some of my rock work. I have trouble getting the stuff off the rocks. My snails tend to stay on the glass and the false wall in the back. Never see them on the rock work or sand bed.

What does everyone like to add to help with algae control for the larger nano reefs? Trying to decide on what to add and would like to hear some member's experiences.

I was thinking about getting one of these guys for my 24g Aquapod. Still trying to determine if my tank is too small for one. How did the urchin do cleaning up the algae?

I never put my bio balls in the back and only had the sponge in the tank when I was cycling it just to get the large particles out. I have since put cheato in the back with a led bar like in you picture and a small bag of carbon. However I like how you used that carbon bag for a hang on back...

I know when I worked an aquarium they used garlic to get picky eaters to finally take some food. I don't know if that will work with a lion fish or not, maybe someone will have experience with that.

I have some hair algae that is growing on the rocks. I tested my parameters thinking they might be off for some reason but they were perfect. I think I just need something to help eat what I can't scrub. I think I will go with a blenny and see how he does. I had a dwarf angel for a few weeks but...

What I have read about Blennies in general is they don't like other fish that look like them. So I would guess that a Shrimp Goby might look like another Blenny but it all depends on the individual. Is there other suggestions on a small fish that will help with algae growth that is also reef safe?

I have a 24 gal Aquapode with a yellow watchman goby in it now. My question would be, is it a strong possibility that a Tail Spot Blenny would go after the goby? I know other larger blennies will are known to go after gobies but I wanted to see if anyone here had any experience. I have some, not...

Try mixing garlic extract in with the food. Most fish go nuts over it and is a great way to get the stubborn ones to finally eat.

I poor my salt water from my water change in my stone drive way. I found it helps kill the weeds that grow there.

Well it will only cost you $20 in gas and 4 hours of your time to get here. :)

I have two small anchored Kenya Trees to a good home for free. Just send me a pm on a time and date but I would like to get them out and to a new home as soon as possible.
