I picked up 6 cats eye turbo snails that are supposedly voracious GHA eaters. Let see what happens when I put them in tank tomorrow. Fingers crossed.

I have used reef flux on 2 occasions it did cause some of the GHA to whiten but never fully eradicate it like others. I have been using a shop vac with micro brush attachments to pull out. My biggest concern with the GHA is it keeps growing on my Duncan’s, zoas and torches. It comes off very...

I only added 2 scarlet reef hermits last week but there’s no way just 2 did that much cleaning. I would add more but I don’t want my snails to be their dinner.

Still battling, this week I plan on adding another urchin thanks to Mwil. Picking up some more turbo snails as well. I did notice some of my live rock was very clean which indicates someone is doing their job. I refuse to give up on this battle. This has been a challenge, but that’s what makes...

I might pick up a small aerator and put them in a bucket. Gonna ask the store to provide me with extra water. These will def help me with my hair algae since they are pretty big.

I’m in Pa and come home on Sat if I were to pick up turbo snails tomorrow morning would they survive until Sat.? or do I need to do something to increase their chance of survival? The prices are hard to pass on and the sizes are huge.

I think others to do the same send a picture of this tank to the wife or significant other, and post their response. That’s great

I’m a pork roll kind of guy

Looking at it def. Can’t be mounted outside so I guess I answered my own question for that.

No issues with it leaking. I’m going off of the negative reviews. I was looking at Icekap but the reviews scared me. Hmm this one is different from one I was looking at. Can this be mounted outside next to my sump if I were to fix plumbing to put pump in sump? I’m liking the price also. What...

Not dosing phosphates since I probably have in the water but getting false reading due to GHA don’t want to add too much

What algae scrubber do you use? I am open to researching everything to assist with my issue.

GHA came after I beat Dino’s. Right now Dino’s seems a lot easier to beat. This GHA is invasive on some of my frags. I have to constantly pick off so it doesn’t smother my Duncan’s and some of my zoas. My outbreak came from 75+ ppm nitrates that I found after buying a Hanna nitrate tester. The...

I have heard that urchins also spread coralline by eating and causing it to scatter around tank.

Yeah, they def can’t hide where they go. They leave a path of cleanliness

He will be very happy in my tank. Plenty of hair algae

Yeah the only drawback, the small one I have now decimated my coralline rocks, but i think he’s way to small to put a dent in the GHA.

Perfect! I was just about to pick one up I will wait until next week. Thanks! What size is your tank?

None. I only used my T5’s a few hours a day. Once I get this hair algae thing under control then I will slowly get them back online

Sounds like a plan. Show big is he?
