Hiya guys, I’ve been having a bit of an algae issue in my 15 gallon tank that’s been up and running for 3 months now. Is this just the ‘ugly’ stage?
Which snails would be best to get rid of the algae? It’s primarily on the rock and some on the sand. I already have 1 trochus snail and 1 nassarius snail. Some people have recommended spiny Astraea snails but I’ve heard they can get quite big, also have had money cowries recommended, are they any good? How many snails will be a good amount for this size of tank?
stocking:
-cleaner shrimp
-Yasha goby with Randall’s pistol
-pink streaked wrasse
-6 soft corals (mushroom, zoas, Xenia and leather)
-1 Lps (Duncan)
