 I've had it all in this tank.. A couple of years ago I had dictyota bad. In went the Naso Tang and it was gone within a week! I've always had a few crevasses with the odd valonia. I do t bother to do anything about those (yet). Got hit with diatoms bad this past fall. This was due to adding some new sand and stirring up old sand. It sorted itself out over a few weeks tho. After I put my biopellet reactor back on line in November/December I got hit with cyano. Battled it first with a bit more flow and blackout. This kicked a lot of it back but still had stubborn patches of it. Decided to give Chemiclean a shot and with that I nuked cyano in 3 days!! Amazing stuff. Currently have a few patches of hair algae in some shaded areas of all places. Mostly ignoring them for now and treating them as a nutrient sink LOL.

This tread made me feel a lot better. Need to clean my glass (with magfloat; one brush does it) and have a bit of brownish hair algae (very small patches) here and there along with some bubble algae. Doesn't seem to spread but oh well, they are there :P

In my 12 gallon (leaving my place this week) there is a turbo snail that has some green hair algae growing from it -- it moves all around the tank with a killer 1-2" tail! Doesn't grow anywhere else, just this one snail... I remove a bunch of it from time to time, but since it's not spreading (been like this for months) it's a cool way to remove nutrients and have a laugh!
