seantadez December 9, 2013 December 9, 2013 I used to have a big problem with hair algae, i tried several things but did't see any great change, so by chance i pick up in a lsf a bi-color blenny, next day my nano looks different two days later my nano cube was 95% algae free , today all the algae is gone. can it be the blenny? seems like he is picking all around the rocks but that was too much algae for this little guy...
smallreef December 9, 2013 December 9, 2013 A nano...sure..between my lawnmower blenny and2 Tangs I have no hair algae..or any other kind in my 150...only took the 3of them 2days to clear mine...

sachabballi reef December 9, 2013 December 9, 2013 my blennies and tangs and rabbit fish etc dont eat any algae that isn't hung by yours truly ....i read these threads gritting my teeth....
SpideyFish December 9, 2013 December 9, 2013 I have a bi color blenny in a Nano, it tore through the hair algae the hermits ignored in a few days.
Djplus1 December 11, 2013 December 11, 2013 I didn't realize bi color Blenny's took out algae like that. I had one that died in an ich outbreak, but never really had an algae issue, so can't say I benefited from his services.
John Ford December 11, 2013 December 11, 2013 My Lawnmower blenny had a champaign diet on a beer budget. He would only eat pe mysis shrimp, no algae. Poor guy jumped ship and slipped out of my canopy somehow. Found him on the floor
seantadez December 11, 2013 Author December 11, 2013 So my question now is what I'm going to do to feed this fish cause algae is gone... SEANTADEZ
AlanM December 11, 2013 December 11, 2013 Instead of worrying what to feed him it sounds like you should sell him to Jenn for big money.

Mattiejay6 December 11, 2013 December 11, 2013 Have any of you all ever tried building or buying an algae turf scrubber?
