Algea eaters

[mmmmmm773]

Was thinking about getting a tomini tang or yellow tang for my 100 gallon. Its for algea of course. I use toothbrush, snails, crabs, copepods, but i just need a little extra help. What would be better. Of fish, tomini or yellow?

No fish will solve a filamentous algae problem. The best solution is to keep nutrients low and reduce lighting. However, if you want to add one, I suggest the tomini. Both are fine in a 100 gallon, but the tomini is a little hardier and less aggressive. It'll also do a better job at keeping algae down, though again, it isn't going to solve the problem.

Yeah didnt expect it to, just need a little help. I do 8 hours of light, sometimes 8and a half, i dont do extreme amounts of feeding or anything, but its still really out of control.
