I had the same dilema so set up 20 gallon to support all macro algae including hair.I use the water from water changes to feed this tank and moved starving CUC here often(lawn mower blenny,sea hare,etc)also makes a great pod factory

Thanks

Hi HL649,

Can you tell me what parameters you keep your tank at?
temp, PH, salinity and whatever other numbers you have?

If you're having success with the sea hare, I'll see how close I can come to your conditions.

Thanks

As of 8:00 Am this morning it is sitting at:

Temp: 26.0°; it varies between 25.0° and 26.5° daily
pH: 8.21; varies between 8.15 and 8.35 daily
Salinity: 1.026; doesn't vary

When I got him I acclimated him over 3 hours and he accepted my tank with out any issues at all. I have heard that the key to keeping them alive is to acclimate them real slow. It worked for me.

Let me know how it goes with him.
