Recommended Posts

  • SRC Member

Hi peeps!

My tank walls and LR has way too much green algae. I also see hair algae. Its tiring as i have to keep cleaning the tank walls everyday. I have also reduced my lighting but the algae keeps growing back. Within 2 days, my tank walls r green. Really...

Is there any snails etc to help me with this?

Bro While getting cleaner crews help the root cause has to be solved which is your nutrient. If this is not solve the worst is yet to come. Maybe good to search on some nutrient export methods and invest in one that may suit you

Yea sherman.. thats what im doing. Thanks bro

Usually depending on just skimmer alone won't be of much help as its can only remove so much.

Probiotics(bacterial) means are usually more popular. There are a couple of brands that's readily available in our lfs. Just make sure u read each of their instruction careful to adopt one that may suits your reefing style best
