Default Want some Money?

Okay well my tank is being over run with alge and I am looking to give someone some cash to come over and clean it for me. I have had one guy come and do a few things but not want I wanted. I have also callled AI but they never showed, so I though why not offer it to some that that could use the cash to buy a nice coral that they could then frag for me later in life. I am looking for what I think would take you about 2 hours, I just need some advice on how to prevent and someone that is better then me at cleaning or telling me why this is happening, I have some test kits but not all.

Well Thanks for reading hoping someone has some time and needs a few bucks.

Hey Trevor,
Buy a sea hare. They will clean your tank right up. Getting your nutrient export working properly is still necessary, but the sea hare will make short work of the hair algae.

I got my sea hares at Big Al's. $20-25 bucks. Except they had a one last week for $40.00 but he was X large.
Yeah they are great and clean up amazing a total machine on the glass and the rocks! Mowes down the algae like no tomorrow! Cool creatures to watch to.

Only thing is after they cleaned up the tank & algae all gone, shortly after they would died everytime. I couldn't keep them alive couldn't figure it out. I lost two at different times. I guess you have to hand feed them algae to survive. I can't go through losing another buddy again
