Those thorns worry me.Good work fishies! Foxfaces are pretty sweet as well. Sadly they do get spoiled over time...
Yep. It definitely looks good but not back to its former glory. The polyp extension isn’t that great. Not sure why.That's pretty amazing. My tangs don't do nearly that thorough a job, but maybe it's just the difference in tank size.
It looks like your ASD rainbow milli is doing better since you got rid of that huge flatworm.
Hoping my new tomini works that hard! (After his QT)
So full disclosure, I have a third tang. He’s in the frag tank that is battling hair algae. It’s a tomini tang and I’ve only ever seen him grazing a time or two. He’s worthless for hair algae.Bristle tooth tangs are awesome. I have a tomini in one tank and a white tail in the other, and they both work really hard to keep the glass clean.
Mine is useless.Hoping my new tomini works that hard! (After his QT)
Can’t you just use some medicine and knock it out?I agree they don't do much for hair algae. Actually, I think I usually wind up with bryopsis rather than hair algae, and nothing seems to eat that.

Move some Halimeda to the other tank, dose it to kill the briopsys, then move halimeda back. Problem solved.I went the Fluconazole route in the big tank and it worked great. Now the 150 has it, and I don't want to use the Fluconazole because it will kill my Halimeda. So I just started dosing Vibrant - don't know if it eats macroalgae too, but I guess I'll find out.

I’ve seen it do wonders against bubble algae multiple times.Vibrant kills chaeto and other macro algae. Haven't seen it do much for bubble algae.
I've heard this before, but I dose Continuum Aquatics Bacter Clean-M (about 70ml per week) which is basically a different formula of Vibrant and I do a pretty good job of growing Chaeto now days. I guess if you just flood the tank with tons of food you can grow any type of algae!Vibrant kills chaeto and other macro algae. Haven't seen it do much for bubble algae.
