HELP!
I just cannot get rid of the stuff. I know all of the standard eliminate algae rules and preach them every day, but I can just not get rid of the stuff. I have to feed several times a day because I have a harem of anthias and I know that is part of the problem but I am looking for what I tell everybody doesn't exist. A magic answer.
I pull the stuff out every day but my tank has a brace over a foot wide so there are many places I just cannot reach. I do large water changes weekly. I bought a yellow eyed kole tang (well I love the fish, the algae was just the excuse), I have bought 2 lettuce nudis and countless snails and nothing seems to even touch it.
Right now I have a crab free tank and would hate to add crabs but at this point if they are likely to eat it, I am willing to even go that route but want to know what kind of crabs are most likely to eat it.
Of course just to complicate things I have a 6-line wrasse and a red corris wrasse in this tank so I either need something big enough that they can't eat or I need to get a lot of something small so it can have enough time to do the job before becoming lunch.
