I tried to curb my hair algae outbreak by purchasing a bunch of herbivores. I now have a yellow tang, a foxface, and a lawnmower Benny. The tang eats some algae off the glass but largely prefers brine and won’t touch any algae on the rocks. The foxface only eats brine, no algae. The lawnmower Benny doesn’t seem too interested in the algae either. What’s going on? I’m running the triton system. Could it be that the Triton additives are making the algae taste yucky to the fish? Could something else be making the algae taste funny? My tank has zero nitrates and zero phosphates.
