Sea Hares

[marinelife]

How great are they. I picked up one to help with the algae build up until I can change out my bulbs.

This guy just goes to town on the algae and is eating it fast than I had hoped. He will be out of food in a few days.

There is usually some sort of algae in the tank they will resort to. Diatoms, slimes, cyano, etc.

[marinelife]

Yeah I am not to scared. I can let someone else use him if needed.

i think my brain has been eating mine...havent seen one in weeks and i put two in at different times (weeks apart). :undecided:

[marinelife]

Have you looked at night?

Mine is great. He is active day and night for me. But I did have one die, and when I pulled him out the tank, Cass almost puked from the other room. Never have we smelled anything so foul.

[marinelife]

Well that just does not sound good. I have not seen mine today but I can tell he is still there!!

[jeremyreef]

Have you looked at night?

[marinelife]

My Sea Hare is still working away, saw him today for a short time before it moved on to another area.

(Sauerkraut will do that.)

I'm going to bring this back from the dead...since it came up in a search.

Assuming there is no macro in the DT.. Would a sea hare get some serious work done on cyano? I've got an outbreak.

I'm doing frequent water changes, feeding very little, and reduced the light cycle to a couple hours a day. Also, siphoning out the mats of cyano off the top of the sand when I'm doing water changes. RoDi is still producing @ 0 TDS.

No detectible water issues. Ammonia, nitrate, nitrite all 0. Chaeto in the sump. Skimming wet. Still have the two clowns, 5 or 6 nassarius, 10 cerith, 10 margaritas... and the piece of pavona (which seems to be doing great).

Just curious what I can do to speed this along naturally. Thanks in advance.

The sea hair that Coral Cove has does not eat cyano, normally they eat hair algae and other green algaes

Well shoot. Guess I will stick with water changes, reduced light and feeding.
