| Snails, hermits, emerald crabs, nudibranchs.....welcome to the club. I let mine get out of hand when I started my tank over a year ago and am still fighting with it. Because my fish guy told me to let some grow and then buy something to eat it. Never again! | |

| Is it the green hair algae, I was told my phosphates were to high and purchased a special filter pad media. It is now starting to go away. | |

| wildbeanerz: it was aqua pure which I would bet is the same.
I'm battling glass algae also. Scrape, scrape, scrape. Scrub, scrub, scrub. Blah | |

| Turn out your light for like 3-4days. Check the phosphates,always use RO water.Rabbitfish or tang will also help. | |
