Algae issues
I need some advice on getting rid of algae! My tank has been set up for 10 weeks and I still have quite a bit of algae growing on the sand, rocks, and glass! I use my magfloat to get the front and sides but can't reach the back.
I have a 180 gal and right now I have 14 turbo snails, 2 narssius, 12 red leg hermits, 2 astrea nails, 1 sand sifting star, and a fire shrimp. Should I add more to my clean up crew? If so, what should I add and how much? Thanks for the help! |

Where should I point them, toward the back of the glass?
