So I made the mistake of making my Biocube into a coral reef tank. I tried, some thrived and some didn’t. I moved my healthy corals into a 75 gallon tank with Red Sea reefled lighting and a canister filter. Everything is doing so much better. So back to my original question. I tested the tank and everything is perfect chemically so I got a fuzzy dwarf lionfish. Was wondering if I could place a spiny urchin in there with him to help with the algae? Was also wondering how many hermits and snails would be appropriate. Thanks everyone

How bad is the algae in your tank currently?

Red string algae in sporadic spots on the bottom in the sand. When I cleaned the tank out, I vacuumed up most of it but it’s growing back

Do you have any wavemakers in the tank? You may need more flow. (red string algae sounds like cyano)

Pictures under white light would help. :)
