Hello all,
I run a 200 liters reeftank since about 2 years now. Since several month I try to fight againt red hair algeas which have slowly covered all my stones. Their grow stagnate now but I lack to find out something which can eat them. As my tank is not so big, I am limited in the choice of the algea eater. I have of course tried the mexican tubos but they dont' eat them in my tank, they die slowly, because of no food for them.
My PO4 is about 0.046 and my NO3 is about 1-2ppm. I doses both to maintain those values. Corals are healthy and grow well, they have a good coloration, also the Acros.
I plan to start another small tank in order to cut corals and make a restart of the tank but I am affraid about some of them which I will not able to eliminate this red algea such as my clam or some Acanthastrea which are small and have red algea very close to the polyps.
So if someone can give me some idea about maybe another red algea eater or how can I make cuts of my corals in order to no introduce the red algea in the other tank, I will be greatful.
Thank you for you help.
