Hi everyone,
I had a terrible algae outbreak and the tank was filled with green hair algae all over the rocks, sand and glass.
Anyways, to make a long story short, I researched and found lettuce nudibranch (Elysia Crispata) and sea hare (Dolabella Auricularia) and how they are great at mowing down the algae. I went to my LFS and they agreed to let me have it and return the sea hare after it completed its mission.
Its only been 4 hours since I put the sea hare in the tank and it definitely does its job. But at the same time, it poops like a machine! My sand has so many little poop pellets the size of rabbit food. I was wondering if any people have the same experience with sea hare? What did you guys do about the poop? Because I hope it doesn't screw over my parameters. I don't have a protein skimmer, but I do run a media basket with filter floss, chemipure blue, and purigen.
Anyways, should I siphon it out daily? or just wait till I do my weekly wc in order to siphon out all that crap?
Thanks.
