What do you have for a cleanup crew?

Toothbrush, just not the same you brush your teeth with

 

[damsels are not mean]

add herbivores and/or pull it out

What do you have for a cleanup crew?

Couple hermits. 2 snails. And a emerald crab

Its a small amount and easily manageable with and increased clean up crew and manual removal. You need to identify the source of the algae which typically is water parameters and or lighting that is causing the GHA.

Add a few Mexican turbos snails or a sea hare.

I think my lights were too intense. And I also wasn't draining frozen food

Cutting lights back to 8 hours will help. My tanks 11 months and I still have patches of GHA. I just stick with a natural approach and no chemicals. The crew will work on it and eventually coraline will outcompete it to.
