This is a new display, with new rocks and a new sandbed. I'm not worried about the "new tank" algaes . . . Those will pass.

I'm worried about two highly invasive algaes from hell that I've got in here, which are not "new tank algaes."

I have four Mexican Turbos, 16 Spiny Astrea, and one Tuxedo urchin. I'm spot injecting 10mls of 3% H202 into algae patches 1-2 times a day. I'm was upping my mag with Tech M (which my snails really don't like . . . I suspect it will kill them), i'm bringing up my alk to 12dkh (a new suggestion someone made to me), and I'm picking out the stuff I can. The snails do not eat the two "devil algaes" though the urchin does.

I'm not worried about fish being "happy." I'm pretty sure it is an emotion they don't experience. I see no reason why a small Fox Face could not thrive in this system as a juvi, however. If it could be easily trapped (I still don't have an answer to this) I would happily pass it on to another local reefer (along with two or three Mexican Turbos) when I was done with it.
