![]() I have noticed a couple of different types of algae and plant in my tank lately. I was wondering first what they are and if they are good or bad.
Thanks Cody http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...d/NewAlgae.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1.../HairAlgae.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...Longplant1.jpg http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1.../Longplant.jpg I have recently bought a bunch more zebra hermits and the have been doing a pretty good job cleaning up the hair algae. As the hair algea dissapears these new ones appear. Last edited by Coderad; 01-26-2008 at 09:18 PM. |

![]() First picture along with the Hair (which you need to get control of) is Halimeda (good).
Second picture Hair trying to smother your zoos. 3/4 type of Caulerpa. Not always bad but I wouldn't have in my dispaly but in a refugium where I could keep it from getting out of control. |

![]() do a search here on canreef, there are plenty of posts dealing with hair algae. but the basics to start with are: water (should be using r/o water), lights (age of bulbs), over feeding
