Sorry Myka. I do have a bit of a cleanup crew but they honestly don't seem to do anything. I have 5 large mexican turbos, 1 tuxedo urchin that doesn't seem to ever come out or move at all frankly, and an abalone that I haven't seen since adding to the tank. I'm a little shy to add anymore cleanup crew because I've added 100 snails in the past and they all slowly died. I'm not a fan of hermits because they can be nasty and kill things you don't want them to kill.

Does it seem weird that the hair algae would out compete the chaeto algae until it died off completely too? And why wouldn't there be hair algae in the fuge and frag tanks if they're all connected?
