• Help in the fight against algae.

The situation is as follows: there is a 20l gross mini-aquarium, the photo of which I have already posted in my thread. The aquarium is populated with zoanthids, LPS, 1 acropora, and discosomas. The mobile fauna includes 1 dragon mandarin and 2 shrimps, a few blue-legged hermits, trochus, and strombus. Filtration is through Seachem chemistry in a hanging filter. Feeding is minimal. Initially, there were remnants of higher green algae, similar to fluffy Christmas trees, on the live rock, which I liked and did not disturb. But now these algae have grown into a rather dense carpet on the live rock, suppressing the zoanthids and discosomas. Now the question is: what can be added to this 20l aquarium as a permanent resident to weed out the algae and not suffer

And if we take the little fox Lo for a while, she is a good "lawnmower." Well, another option is to move all the little stones to a large area where there are surgeons; in two or three days, everything will definitely be in order, and without any hassle.

I haven't seen chanterelles of 3-4 cm in size for sale, and a larger one would be very stressed in such a volume. I wouldn't want to take the stones out - they are connected to each other. Will the dog chew on such grass? Or are there any other small grass-eating surgical options that could handle such a volume for at least a month?

As an option, buy a rabbit. Then it can be released as a traveling banner across the forum.

Can you give me a tip on sellers?

The best whiskey was at AiRife and Water Systems. The price is around 30 USD.

And what are Water Systems?

I think this is

I walked through the bushes with tweezers. Starting Monday, I will be pulling the aquasellers.

A dog is a weak helper in the fight against these algae, and hares are sold at a size of 10 cm and more. Moreover, the range of algae consumption for hares is somewhat different. Here, only manual weeding remains if we avoid "surgical" intervention.

And the hedgehogs?

Katie5500

Basically, as an option. Probably, a globe at this scale can help.

There, a hedgehog won't help - the stones are all thickly overgrown with zoanthids, and there are almost no clean surfaces. Algae grow between the buttons of the umbrellas. A hedgehog won't be plucking out the algae.

Then a reboot. With meticulous processing of every square centimeter, and further prevention of similar occurrences. There is no panacea in this case; the surgeons will be stressed, Lo will be too, everything else is ineffective.

Off-topic. It's not that bad - this caulerpa is actually very difficult to keep. Add batriocladia, heteromorphs, other caulerpa - it will disappear. As soon as I stopped taking care of it, it all died out in a month.

I threw the stone with this grass to the surgeons, the result is "ZERO," they don't want to eat this grass.

That's right, it's toxic. If the aquarium is already seriously affected by this algae, it's better not to procrastinate and to make an effort to do as I have already suggested. Delaying will result in the degeneration of the invertebrates while the algae will thrive.
