Update to RSM

slakker · 10-13-2008, 01:00 AM

So it's about week 4 now and onto phase 2... Green hair algae... so what else is there to do but to get a sea hare.

I already told my LFS that I'm just "renting" him... once the GHA is under control, I'm returning him for 1/2 credit.

They're such a cool animal...

And they have quite the mouth to grab and tear the stuff right off the rocks...

Excellent choice. I had one once and it did an excellent job on cleaning the rocks and substrate. It even ate the slimy brown cyano-like crud.

I'm a HUGE "Sea Hare" fan! I've had the pleasure of owning a few of them myself and think very highly of them. Just be careful of powerheads and anything that "sucks" as they are easily "Sucked" and can't pull free.

YES they have ENORMOUS mouths that really scrape and clean like crazy!!

Allen's home-made formula...currentNO3-((%WC.01)currentNO3)=finalNO3 (thanks Luukosian) This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.
