Hey everyone, in an attempt to control that algae problem that I posted about a few days back, I ordered some inverts from saltwaterfish.com (I have had good results from their shipments before). I noticed that a lot of my hermits and snails were gone/dead, so I figured I needed some more...I'm pretty sure I can attribute their deaths to high phosphate levels and bad calcium/alk levels (those have since been fixed).

My ordered consists of:
20 Nass Snails
1 Sally Lightfoot
1 Emerald Crab
30 Blue Leg Hermits
10 Turbos

(Since I am a member of saltwaterfish.com, I got a free Pajama Cardinal with the order and I also ordered a Royal Gramma)

I didn't order the clam because it didn't get very good reviews from you guys, so thanks for the tips!

Tell me what you think...do you think that order will be sufficient to get rid of the brown algae/detritus?

Thanks,
Mike

i think that was a good choice....should help with the problem...
I also heard that rabbit fish are great algae eaters

I think rabbit fish are a bit too big for a 55 gallon, arent they? I currently have a yellow tang that loves green algaes...but this algae is brownish fuzz and she just won't touch the stuff.

Ya man. That repeat buyer program at swf.com is the bomb.

Yeah I love it...one question about it though.

I have placed 3 orders with them now and I am still at a Level 1, any idea when I will be bumped to a level 2?

I just made my first purchase from them myself and I was very pleased............. John
