?

So I am kinda having some small issues withgreen/brown algea on my sand bed. I have a 30 gallon glass tank with 2 clowns and a hawk fish. Is there any kind of crab I can get that will eat the stuff in the sand? Oh I also have 3 turbos snails and two little snails in there. Please help !

 

How old is your tank?

 

4 moths this month

 

if its cyno pip , ibelieve a power head directed more towards the area should help clear it up.

 

Cyno is the red stuff yeah? I already won the battle with that crap! So possibly a power dead angled on my sand bed may help? I already have two in my tank would one more be over kill?

 

That's your problem, IME. That's an insuffient clean up crew... I would get many many more snails in a great variety. Not sure how the hawkfish will handle the snails though... never had that fish.

check out reefcleaners.org - he'll probably recommend around 30-50 dwarf ceriths and a few FL ceriths to help clear that up.

 

Try reefcleaners.org they can help you with a clean up crew

 

Ok thanks! My hawkfish realy doesent seem to care about the snails so BONUS! Ill go check out that site ASAP
