Hi everyone.
I was doing some maintainence today in my 10 gallon tank, and i'm starting to see some green hair algae appear on one of my large rocks in my tank.
Currently i don't have any fish, just corals, mini stars, 8 nass snails, and 2 hermit crabs (just added the snails/crabs about a week ago).
I do have a ball of cheato in the tank (its in a net tho - i know, a nitrate trap but I put it in the net so the cheato wouldn't be blowing all over the tank) to battle a little cyno outbreak i had a month or so ago.
I was wondering what would be good to put in a nano to help combat this problem before it takes over my tank? Its not a large patch of it, i'm thinking maybe the size of a quarter to half dollar or so on a piece of rock the size of a football. The rock is pourous, and it looks like its coming out of the crevices in the rock. The rock has most of my zoos attached to it, so taking it out of the tank would be out of the question. I am currently setting up another 10 gallon that I drilled last week to house a 10 gallon sump/fuge under the tank. Do you guys think that once i get this setup and the cheato gets out of the netting its currently in, should I start to see the GHA disappear? I currently don't feed anything, so i'm not sure what is causing it to grow all of a sudden. Just looking for a quick solution (cleaner crew wise) before it gets a grip in my tank.
Thanks
Stewie
