Green Hair Algae Clean up Crew Experiment (Comparison of Snails) ALGAE HUNGER GAMES

[Wally.B]

So my tank took a turn for the worse and is Super Infested with Green Hair Algae.

I've bought various CUC over the last while (based on reading) and still am not sure what works the best for Green Hair Alage.

Doing other things too like a Algae Scrubber, and more BioMedia, but CUC Comparison is my main objective.


So I've setup a tank to run an experiment to see what cleans my Algae covered rocks the best.

I'm running a WEB cam and taking Time Lapse Photographs to watch progress.

You can find the experiment running on my TANK Thread Post Here. The Algae Hunger Games

I'll be bringing in more Algae pieces from My Tank as below.

ALGAE HUNGER GAMES: First YOUtube Video Update (GAME 1: The Appetizer)

Here is roughly last 12 hours (15 minute spacing). Overnight, till morning lights on.
The Players have settled in. I noticed the Arabica Cowrie on the move.

Might be adding a small sandbox for the Conch.

More rocks on the way for tonight's game. The challenge level will increase, so will the food supply.

ALGAE Hunger Games (Future Challengers)

The sponsors want excitement. I'm not for it. I just want my Algae free tank back.

However things may get boring watching Algae and Snails.

So we'll have some controlled & Safe exhibition events.

Photo below speaks pretty clear.

This is honestly one of my all time favorite threads, how serious yet fun it is. Good luck with the algae, but if it doesn't pan out at least you got a good laugh out of it
