Coral dip and hair algae

[Knight_Solaire01]

Hello everyone.

I was wondering if I could measure out the appropriate amount of Coral RX coral dip while scrubbing my frags to clean them. I had an ammonia spike after a shrimp died and I didn't notice it for who know how long. I have cleaned the tank with water cycling and the ammonia has dropped along with the Nitrates. However I still have greenish brown hair algae on all of my live rock and I am starting to get worried about my corals. Would adding coral tip to a bucket of salt water help while I lightly scrub them down with a fine haired tooth brush?

I would just manually remove a little and let the clean up crew eat it or try fluconazole. Flux rx is my go to hair algae solution (kills bryopsis, caulerpa, and derbesia hair algae)

I just ordered some bigger shells for my hermits so hopefully that will make them happy enough to chow down on it.

You could always try a lawnmower blenny too if you don't have any blennies. How big is your tank?

32 gallons. I may try that.

Even if they don't work, they are still pretty funny fish. You could also try two emerald crabs. They get a bad rep but I believe that comes from people not understanding that crabs will find food if they don't have algae or left overs, regardless of what it is.
