I have fell so far behind on my updates I have added so much more to this tank I will be adding some pictures and maybe a video as well. It has came a long way. I am just having issues with hair algae right now. I have added SO many snails but the dang things are not doing anything. they keep turning over on their backs and can not turn back over. Not sure what I can do with the junk. More to come.
Awesome I can't wait to see it! A few tips for the hair algae:
numero uno - add a tang. Bristletooth or yellow or scopas or sailfin. They'll love it
Emerald Crabs are hair algae eating baes. They're amazing
If you have a good CUC, try boiling RO water, and then quickly using a syringe to squirt the boiling water onto the algae. It'll basically blanch it, making it easier and more appetizing for your CUC to eat it and clean it up.
Add a sea hare, it'll quickly clean everything up but you'll have to return it before its all gone or it'll die. ALso you have to stay on top of water changes as it will cause nutrients to sky rocket.
Last resort try Flucanazole. It apparently works wonders. Again, keep up on water changes.
