May 4, 200620 yr comment_99951 I just put in a Kole Tang done a sweet job on my tank better then the purple and yellow put together and doesn't seem to worry what type of algae either, they have a large mouth just for the job. Report
May 4, 200620 yr Author comment_99956 Cool thanks Kermit, would this fish get to big for my setup? Its a Ar620 t , so its not a long tank. Report
May 4, 200620 yr comment_99962 True fella tangs should be in a long tank so they dont swim around in circles. How about a lown mower blenny? Report
May 4, 200620 yr comment_99973 tryout a rabbitfish(siganus virgatus)i heard they nail algae bit better than tangs,dont quote me though as you know its 50/50 good luck Report
May 4, 200620 yr comment_99981 i had a foxface rabbitfish, wasnt too interested in algae, a bit of luck as to what you get. how about fixing whats causing the algae rather than trying to get something to eat it? is algae excessive or just needs trimming? snails should be enough to keep it at a minimum if you have everything else right Report

I havnt got a po4 test kit yet :oops: , its hair algae, and its only on a few pieces of rock near the top, so its not out of control but its starting to get worse. Maybe i should run some Rowaphos, see if it makes any difference. Report
May 4, 200620 yr comment_99985 i have been using Rowaphos and bio digest amaze with it 97% algae gone all rocks starting to turn pink Report
