Green hair algae

[fkshiu]

I don't see how adding a creature to eat the hair algae is a "bandaid" either. If that we're the guess your entire clean-up crew would be a "bandaid" solution. It is merely one in a combination of methods that can be used to tackle the problem.

I have blue leged herms they climb the rocks but my 2 red leged herms out perform any of the others that are in the tank. Also snails will go on the rocks I have them all over them, I have about 7 or 8+ different types of snails they all go on the rocks. Any other falicies out there.

Not trying to be meen or anything just facts are facts.
