Hello everyone!
I got a phytobloom in my ~100g tank !
I want to eliminate(/decrease their numbers of) the phytos since they take nutrients up too quickly and my zoas and an acan is starving.
I have no idea what to do. I don't want to use UV, but something more biological... like sponges or feather dusters, anything that will eat them !
NO3: 5-10
PO4: 0.00-0.01
These are candidates:
Sun cup coral colony (5-10cm diameter) -I'm afraid that they are just simply too large so they can't consume phyto or can they?
Gorgonians
SPS corals
Hepatus tang -I believe they mostly eat microalgaes
Dragonet perhaps??? -I know that they primarily eat pods but maybe just maybe they like phyto ?
I'm open for other critters aswell.
But forget these:
Clam -"cute" but too expensive
UV -for short term it would be useful, but it would probably kill good things aswell
LPS -They will starve (in my opinion)
(+) I could collect the planktons so I could sell them. A system would be preferable, one that could mechanically remove them. My filter sock did not work (200nm) I need ideas on this side...
