Algea in octo tank

[Absint Reefer]

I'm I stuck with scrubbing or should I dare to add a big snail. I tried to add a astrea snail which my octo enjoyed very much.
Thank,

My bimac has eaten all the snails I have placed in there with him. I would try an urchin to control algae. They eat primarily coralline but occassionally eat other types.

the octo won't eat the urchin and what type of urchin were your referring to?

 

[Grayout]

No, they don't eat urchins. I have one of the caribbean long spined urchins in my tank. It came as a hitchicker on some live rock.

ALthough this is more work to install, but a good thriving refugium works wonders...

I have a pencil urchin in with my octopus thats not been touched as yet.

urchins work great- I agree.
