Help with red fuzzy algae

[doublette]

We also had a problem with that algae a while ago. We were waiting to get the proper snails when I fell in love with the sea hare and convinced hubby to buy one. Never needed the snails after all, the sea hare cleaned the tank right up!

thanks for the help guys. went to JL's and picked up a bunch of pacific turbos. Last night after I posted, I decided to bring a piece of rock covered with this algae to my sump to see if my achilles tang will eat it. He started eating it as well so if the turbos can't eat it faster than the algae can reproduce, I'm gonna have to catch my purple/yellow tangs from my display and put my achilles in there instead. i hope the purple and yellow tangs like the sump

Hey Chin I have been battleing this crap fopr some time now I too am going to get some mexicans in to clean it up. In my tank it took over the rock my monti cap was on and nearly killed it never the less it is still severly damaged. I just hope the snails take care of it cause I am getting sick of manual removal of ths stuff.
