40 Breeder Tank

Short video of my problem tank, 2" hair algae grows in it weekly and I can't seem to get a handle on it. Trets and Regani are from Drew's WC Colonies.

Throw a few Troph's in there to mow it down...but really, I'm not too sure how to get rid of it completely John...maybe a complete tear down and boil everything to kill it...sorry I can't be more helpful

I actually pitched half my sand and it's a lot better, hoping I can take it down without a complete purge. Believe it or not that's like 10x better than even 2 weeks ago.

Those Trets look awesome John!

The Trets and Regani both are fantastic, much better than my old F22's.

Turning the lights off for a while should take care of the hair algae, I'm with Danny that adding tropheus will thin it out.

Oh, I've tried about everything, lights, barley, you name it. Adding plants, rock and shells is allowing the algae to cling to them instead of turning my aragonite into kitty litter, so it's a start.

Nerite snails will take care of it.

That's actually a really good idea Judy, I'm picking up a few little Tropheus for the tank this weekend and between them and the snails they should knock it down. Plus the Trets are likely dying for some live treats.
