Well, the 18 inch cube has been up for four weeks now. I had a damsel carcass in there to cycle it, and had red slime algae for a week or so, but that died off and now I have hair algea all over the tank.
I put calurpa in two weeks ago to starve the hair algea of nutrients, and I plan to do a water change this weekend.
(BTW, I have a mini-eco system built into the back of the tank with miracle mud in it.)
My 150 is hair algae free for the most part, and it only grows in the overflow box (must be chomping on uneaten food).
Any advice? Is the tank old enough now for snails and crabs as a clean up crew?
