Aquarium Advice Apprentice
My tank was alittle over a year old when it had to be disassembled and moved to another location. The entire set up is the same except location and did a complete water change (easier to move). It has been set-up for about 2 months now.
Problem: Green hair algae :x
Just in case the profile doesn't show what I have in my tank:
Tank: 72G SW, CC substrate, wet/dry, bio-balls, three-pass protein skimmer, about 125 lbs LR.
Fish and Invertibrates: numerous different types of hermit crabs. Had snails until last two weeks (you'll understand why next), small porcupine puffer, 1 domino damsel, 2 3-stripe damsels, 2 4-stripe damsels, 1 medium clarkii clown, and 1 undilated trigger (about size of clown).
My levels: Ammonia 0, Nitrites 0, Nitrates 0-5ppm, ph 8.2, alk 1.021. Temp 82-83.
I have scrubbed every inch of LR 2 weeks ago, and it is much better. . .but I would like to prevent it from spreading again.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you.
