Need hair algae

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

I can hold your seahare in my "seahorse" tank for a while until you can get enough algae growing. I have some hair algae in there but the clean up crew is slowly working away. Probably enough to keep it alive for a week or so.

Not sure how quickly hair algae will grow in your refugium to keep a hungry seahare fed.

I can rent him from you if you like...for $$?

my HA is receding now but I would definitely benefit from a week or so of his services.

I used to hand feed mine nori when the hair algea crop was low.

Yeah I did try that and although she eats some cheato and some nori, it seems like the nori is too tough for her...

this is what i did to supply my tangs, cowries, nudibranch and other algae loving creatures with an endless algae supply. fill up one of your spare tanks with liverocks and make sure tank is super nutrient rich. in no time at all you'll find abundant algal growth on all the rocks. simply switch one or two rocks into your main tank and you'll have an endless algae supply.

reeferious - you make a good suggestion. My problem is my tank is completely algae free (now - did not use to be). Which is good... except for the algae eating creatures. So the algae in my refugium will grow too slowly. I need a simple, small nutrient rich tank with no herbivores. Great idea!
