My 24G Aquapod developed a bad case of Green Hair Algae. I happened to be at my LFS this past Saturday. They had a Sea Hare and recommended I take it home to get rid of the Algae. Get this - less the 48 hours later - ALL THE ALGAE is gone!. He sure had a bunch of excrement (vacuumed this up a few times in the 2 days he has been in the tank).
I am placing the Sea Hare into my 14G biocube and after he does his magic in that tank - the pet store has agreed to take him back and give me a $10.00 credit. So for $10.00, all of my algae is gone.
From what i can see - this is a super way to periodically maintain Algae control.
I am told though that since they require vast amounts of green food - after the Algae is gone - it is important to get rid of the Sea hare!
