How did you get rid of the BA? Manually or the did rabbit fish finally eat them? I am thinking of adding a naso to see if it'll eat some. Will a blond naso do the same thing or only the regular naso?
Kenny its not all gone, but most of it is. i remove a bunch manually a few weeks ago and it hasn't come back so far. I Think that the emarlds are keeping it at bay. i seen them eat it the most

That's good news, Brian. My army of emeralds just can't keep up so I've deciding to try another fish since my rabbitfish won't touch them. Any insight on the naso vs. blond naso effectiveness on BA? Will both eat it or only the naso. I know you'v mention the naso before.
Both will eat it. I still plan on adding a naso to eat what I have left. I have one on hold until I can find a big enough QT for her

Good to know. I'll just get whatever is available.

Hey Brian or Kenney,
Do you guys have any experience with your rabbitfish eating your zoa's? I don't have many but the ones I have are keepers... Not sure if it's just the orange spots or all of the rabbitfish?
I've heard from a couple people now that they will wipe out your zoa's if you have any.
Sure would appreciate any input....
Thanks!~

Dude the corals in the last batch of pictures have really nice growing tips. Looking healthy and happy, bubble algae dissapearing appears that you've got the tank dialed in man.
Dave, FWIW I've had a Siganus doliatus since April '08 and she doesn't touch any Z & P but he doesn't eat any algae either.

Thanks Dan, it seems to be getting better and better each day. I have been able to keep my PO4's below .01 ppm for the last 3 months. We'll see if that keeps up once I add more fish

Dude that is really low :eek2: No wonder the bubble algae is disappearing.
Nope, it was still there even at that low of PO4's :sad1:.

Nope, I have not seen it eat anything other than the food I feed the tank with. I want to get mine out but it's gonna be a real PITA!
Alex, I have read the same thing. I think the decrease in my BA is mostly due to manual remove with the aid of the Emerald crab's. The emeralds move slow so the manual remove helped them out. Now I hope they can keep up
