Lawnmower vs. Turbos

[MaJaCa]

I have a 115g tank, and last week I put the very first livestock in...
I put in a lawnmower blenny, and 10 turbos. I made sure that before I got them, my tank had a nice film of hair algae all over it for them to consume, and by now, the tank looks pristine.

My question is: does hair algae have to be visibly present for the lawnmower to have enough to eat? there is still a "film" of green on the glass, but its not HA. Visibly so far the blenny looks fine, no ribs showing, but I don't want to wait until its too late if ya know what I mean.

I'm thinking that I may have gotten too many turbos, does this seem like a lot for a 115 + a lawnmower?

Have you tried rubber banding a piece of Nori to a rock and watching to see if the blenny will find and eat it? I believe that's about your best bet if there isn't much algea left.

My LMB and Turbos did not touch any of my old HA. However, my sailfin tang took care of it all within a few days after the addition. My LMB tends to eat the micro algae on the rocks/glass more.

My lawnmower also eats film algae. He seems to get enough to eat that way, he's not skinny and is always active.

He won't touch hair algae for some reason.

my lawnmower blenny eats algae in incredible counties but wont touch my cyano or algae on the glass.

blah...I was thinking of getting a lawnmower to help with a bit of hair algae...

LOL. Mine only eats it off the glass. Never seen him pick at rocks. Maybe he does when I'm not looking, but my glass is clean.
