Hey guys I had some questions regards to growing micro algae frags in my display tank!
For starters I have 36 gal tank
With 1 clownfish and 1 lawnmower blenny with regular snails and hermit crabs.
I recently added 3 different micro algae’s to the tank about a week ago. And it seems that I have critters munching on them faster than they can grow. I imagined it was the hermit crabs or snails at first but they were not as interested as my copepods. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with copepods eating plant frags that were alive and killing them. In one of the pictures with the red algae on the leftish you can see a copepod on it right now. Currently moved my two of my algae’s to my quarantine tank to see if they can even recover. Let me know what you guys think to tips or tricks
