LiQuiD Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Don't forget, you could sell or trade it to us reefers that really like macro algaes. Dig out a plug around the root base and take a picture of it, someone may want what you don't. Link to comment

freakaccident Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 You could buy a yellow tang for a week and not feed it. Not a very nice thing to do putting a tang in such a small tank but he would certainly take care of the crap in a jiffy. Mine did. Take him back when he eats all the crap. Link to comment

Joe_fro Posted March 25, 2003 Author Share Posted March 25, 2003 i love the weedwacker idea thats nice. I really wish it was that easy. Its not a pain or anything but its just ugly and needs to be trimmed back. by the way dave what am i supposed to do with that blade, edge my tank? Link to comment
Xavier Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 setup a fuge, and stick the rock in there... unsightly, maybe, good filtration, definitely... Link to comment
chufa Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I had some that loked like grapes, I liked it a lot. Until I added a turbo snail and it munched it down completely. And that stupid snail doesn't touch any of my other uglier algae! (i.e. hair algae). So, I guess a turbo snail will solve your problem, if it is the same thing. Link to comment
