feel like my entire reef life has been a battle against cyano, gha, chrysophytes, and bubble algae. My current battle is gha, my nitrates test 0. I tried to add chaeto to my sump thinking that the nitrate is testing 0 because the gha is using it up asap. I've always bought 1-2 emerald crabs, my lfs now has them for $6 so I've bought 8 for my 75gal cube. Overnight these guys have scrapped some rocks clean.
I am thinking now that I have these guys I can get my nitrate up to grow chaeto. Going forward the chaeto will absorb the nitrate to the point that the gha will be so minor that the clean up crew will handle it. Seem reasonable? Never realized these guys were so important.
