Reef Tank Tuneup to Clean Up the Hair Algae?

We went ahead and ordered the reef tank tuneup from Indo-Pacific Sea Farms…

So, as of Friday evening, we should have:

• 3 Hawaiian Trocus Grazers (Trochus intextus)
• 1 Hawaiian Turbo Grazer (Turbo sandwicensis)
• 12 Nerite Grazers (Nerita sp.)
• 12 MicroHermits (Calcinus sp.)
• 12 Strombus Grazers (Strombus maculatus)
• 2 Pinky Cuke (Holothuria sp.)
• 6 Hawaiian Littorinid Grazers (Littoraria sp.)

We’re definitely look forward to this arrival as we don’t have too many grazers at the moment and I think this group will enjoy our influx of hair algae… Time will tell.

Dealing with Green Hair Algae

Interesting article explaining why getting rid of green hair algae can be tricky…

We recently saw a breakout of green hair algae in our tank, although it seems to have come to an equilibrium as of late. We’ve been thinking of getting either a vegetarian crab to help out or a spiny urchin, but I want to do some more research first.
