Hair Algae

[jap1]

Wow, I guess I'm not the only one. Hehe. I'm amazed you have the same problem in a 240! And HotRod has no hair algae and uses tap water?! That is too cool, Hotrod. I've heard before that phosphates and nitrates lead to hair algae, but no problems with those. Especially in ReeferRob and MKenger's cases. Well, I'm in a 12 Gallon Nano. Would a sea hare be too big for it? And I've seen lawnmower blennys that were pretty large. Do ya'll think I could get a baby that would be as effective? I'd trade him back to the LFS once he got too big for my little tank.

try some sailfin mollies and black mollies, it is rumored that they will eat hair algea,and since they are pregnant all the time you get a free source of food.
