![]() I should have mentioned in the post itself that this is about a freshwater tank, sorry about that Scavenger!
Hair algae in a SW tank seems easy, I have urchins, an abalone, and a rabbit who work at it until it's gone, but yeah, trying to keep a FW tank looking nice and clean has always been something of a challenge for me. I'm not currently dosing CO2 yet as the tank is fairly new (a month or so set up now), and I'm only pushing 2wpg (65g, and lighting is 2x65w PC). I'm a little concerned that the lighting is not enough for the plants I want to grow but I'm thinking it may be better to let the tank settle in before upgrading. I'm learning lots as I go with this one so it's definitely fun at the moment, I just don't want the messy algaes to gain a foothold like they did in my old FW tank. ![]()

![]() Dale, eventually I'm going to be moving 2 medium sized clown loaches into this tank (I need some more ground cover in the tank before I can move them over, they're coming from a seriously overgrown 30g and I think they'll be nervous because there isn't hidey holes in there to the same degree their current tank has). Are clown loaches gonna go after the amano shrimp if I get some of those?
That's interesting about rosy barbs. I didn't know that at all. By coincidence I had been considering at some point getting some of those anyhow just because I thought they were pretty. ![]()
