FYI,
My [friends] 180 was having a large outbreak of Valonia/Bubble algae, sometimes called Sailor's Eye. I suggested she choose a Naso Tang. They are better than Mythrax (Emerald) Crabs for eating Valonia. In two weeks, the algae is almost gone 
Very soon we are going to need some high veggie mix food, if anyone is making some, I'll buy a couple pounds from you. ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

I have never seen my Naso touch my bubble algae. But the 3 Emerald crabs seem to be doing a pretty good job on it. ------------- Kevin Kunz (Sandy, UT) 300g reef "A trade by which one gains and the other loses is a fraud." Ayn Rand |
