Algae removal

[fisher12889]

What type of fish/crustacean would you recommend to get rid of green algae? Some of it looks like long filaments and some looks like miniature grass (its short but in thick patches on my live rock)...btw my tank is a 20 tall. Thanks for the help!

Cleaner shrimp should do the job just fine.

Sounds like you have Green Hair Algae. This stuff is hard to get rid of. Lots of water changes and lower PO4 abd you should be ok over time.

Try a KOLE TANG or pygmy ANGEL fish, these fish will graze alot on your live rock or aquarium glass.

Manual removal and lower the nutrient levels in your tank. Cleaner shrimp don't eat algae.

The tank has just been set up, and the algae was already on the rocks. I dont know how I can lower the nutrient levels much...
