Hey Everyone.

The water where i live sucks. That and I can't get it to clean up. I'm getting a lot of hair algae growing. What do you guys recommend? Would a starry blenny fix my algae issue???

Thanks for the help everyone...

Yellow Tang or sea hare, and get some RO/DI water and start doing water changes of 10-15 percent every week until you clear up. You need to invest in a RO system they run from 129-300 depending on brand, and there might even be some for sale here just check the for sale area on the forums.

If your GHA is long, a tang or blenny won't eat it. A sea hare is a great option and consistent water changes. Agent Green works great to lower phosphate levels.
