Lettuce Nudi (well slug anyway)

[j21kickster]

Picked up 2 of these the other day and they have already made an impact on the little bit of hair algae i have left- they are awsome

 

[j21kickster]

Also i havent posted a pic of my tank any time recent so here ya go

they are really good with the hair algea. just make sure you find a new home ffor it when the algea is gone.

BTW tank is looking great

thx- to tell ya the truth i dont think it will ever be completly gone- b/c if i dont pull it at least 1X per week it would ruin the tank -
Ammonia 0
Nitrites/trates 0
ph 8.3
S.G 1.025
temp 79
phosphates and sillicated are almost none-
But im not too worried - the algae is up top right under all of those lights so that can be expected also this is a fairly new tank- it will dissapear over time

gorgeous tank!! What size is it and that is some of the best rock placement ive seen!

thank you- it is a 20 gallon and there is about 7 different rocks in there- before i did reef tanks i built many terrariums and i had a very nice bonsai collection- so that is were i get my designing skills from

Looks very nice kickster. You've done a lot since the last time we saw it. I love those blasstamussa, and what is that pink coral mid-way up slightly off center? Looks kinda like a leather, but I can't tell from pic. Keep it up.

ya i think they will do fine- but if they have more than a few babies i might have to move some out

What would you estimate your total cost of this tank excluding all LR,LS and livestock?? Im interested in getting another smaller tank for a micro reef and im wondering prices. There is a deal at a LFS witha 10-12g, helios lightin, stand and all for $300, im contemplating on picking it up.

Wow!!
That is way over priced. That is more than my 46 gallon cost. Or does the all part mean filter, lighting, sand, etc.
I have a hair algae problem too but will the lettuce nudis eat my decorative algae also???
