Noah's Reefer Nano Build

[nagreen]

The LFS did not get the nudibranch in on their shipment.. after talking with some people there though, I decided that I'd try Flatworm eXit instead. I'm siphoning as many flatworms out as I can for the next few days, then I'll use eXit, wait until I see most flatworms dying, do a 5-10g waterchange, and run a heavy dose of carbon. Hopefully this could wipe them out for good.

As far as GHA and Cyano go, I picked up some new CUC members while at the LFS. 1 Emerald Crab, 1 Larger Scarlett Hermit, 3 Turbo Snails, 2 Trochus Snails. Hopefully this bunch will go to work for me quickly

They will help with the hair algae, but nothing I am aware of will touch Cyanobacteria. Best is manual removal.

Yeah I'm removing it manually.. I have read that Scarlett Hermits will eat slime algaes and cyano though. we'll see if that's true or not

Flatworms are gone. I used sucked out all that I could over the course of a few days, then did a 7-8g water change, and ran a heavy dose of carbon. They are all gone as of now and all coral and livestock are doing great.
Cyano is at a minimum. I've lightened up feedings and added the scarlett hermit. I haven't seen the scarlett hermit eat cyano but there's been substantially less since I put him in.
I still have bad hair algae - luckily, it's all growing on the back side of the rocks and not in the front of the tank.

I moved the tank into my living room yesterday. I drained it 3/4 of the way, put a piece of cardboard underneath, and slid it a few rooms over no problem!

Everything is looking good today. The tank is starting to really look filled in
