Full Version: ANNOYING ALGAE!
I have a 6 and a half week old 14 gallon biocube, and algae is a very big problem!!! I do water changes, I got a big clean up crew, and I used phosphate remover, but still green algae on my sand, glass, and it makes my water cloudy! Any tips?
Big clean up crew consists of what animals? What kind of green algae?

The clean up crew is not that big (maybe even small) here they are:
2 Margarita Snails
2 Turbo snails
2 Red leg hermits
2 Nassiruss snails
I don't know what type of algae it is but im guessing Film algae and some bubble algae.
Margarita's will be dead soon if you aren't running a cold tank. Nass. snails are carnivores/detrivors and don't mess with algae.
I think your clean up crew needs to be a little more rounded out.

The dwarf cerith's are little algae eating BEASTS!! Love 'em. Tiny little snail army.
Mithrax is the go to crab for bubble algae.
