 |  Hair algae poll
Please post the name of the species if you choose other. If you choose tang please post and specify what species. Tell me about your experiences with hair algae. Thanks _________  &&Right now I'm in the middle of a conversion from reef to Discus/ planted aquarium. Hair algae beat me down. Maybe a nano in the future. Everything screwed up so I'm converting to FOWLR. Wish me luck. |

I'm scared of the lawnmowers. I heard that they can get aggressive with fish of similar size and I have a mated pair of mandarine gobies. I couldn't go on if anything were to happen to my mandarines. | |

Mexican turbo snails do pretty well w/ hair algae. however, they get pretty big and bull doze things. how big is your tank?
another goby that loves hair algae are rainford gobies. the only problem w/ them is that they need a constant supply of hair algae. once the hair algae is gone, their health sometimes becomes an issue. _________ 180g acrylic, 110g sump, asm g2 skimmer, 1/3hp arctica titanium chiller, kent marine ro/di 4-stage hi-s | |

Actually I had eight big mexican turbos in my tank. They never did touch the hair algae. I've lost three due to starvation. My tank is a 75. | |

I picked up a sailfin tang and he's eating the hair algae. I know it's not good but now I have a scopas tang and a sailfin in a 75 gallon tank. I know a guy who has a blue tang in an 18 gallon cube so I should be ok to have two tangs in a 75 gallon for a while. | |
