12 - Blue leg hermits
2 - Scarlet Red Hermits
1 - Huge Zebra Hermit ( Very sadistic ) I think hes killed a few of my other hermits.

3 - Mexican Turbo Snails
6 -Astrea Snails
2 - Bumble Bee Snails
6 - Nassarius Snails ( I get 10 More 2-morrow )

Whats making the Brown Stringy Algae? Ive got no Green Hair Algae in the tank since the Yellow Tamg was Introduced. Im at a Loss as to whats causing it.

Thanks!]
 
[The moderator should move this to another forum. Sounds like it might be some sort of dinoflagellate algae, not good. I would try sucking it out or blowing it off of stuff with a turkey baster.]
 
[What Rick says sounds right to me. Does it look like this, and if so I had it as well. Siphon it off as much as you can. There are some chemical remedies, but I talked about it a lot with several club members, and it was 50 50, some said try chemi-clean others said siphon, be patient and wait. I did the latter and eventually it went away, but it was quite ugly for at least 3 months.]
