So the algae problem that I thought was just a regular algae that we see in reef tanks and kinda just stays there is actually dinos. I didn't realize it until yesterday! My entire back glass is covered in a pretty thick layer of dinos and one of the side glasses. I read that adding copepods to your tank will actually get rid of it because they will voraciously eat it up. Is that true? I'm thinking of going wit that because I've always wanted to add a dragonet to my 20g but we know how hard that is. But i think ill go with a female ruby red. Stays super small, accepts pellets and frozen foods more readily, and are easier to care for.
My plan would be to add maybe 5000-10,000 pods to my tank, leave them there for a month to get rid of most of the dinos, and then add a ruby red, but keep it in a breeding box for about a month so I can get it to eat frozen and pellets without being attacked by my clowns, and also so the clowns get more comfortable with the ruby red. Tell me what you think #reefsquad
*Btw I know how some people dose Vibrant and other bacteria that start to kill of dinos and cyano, so I added some ChemiClean to the tank.*
