Copepods, copepods, copepods, and a conch! Edit - Where your snails at?

[@ShrimpDaddy94]

I did have some amphepods at one point. They used to live in my filter floss but idk haven't seen them in a while. Maybe your onto something. I had a turbo snail but he died

Too much light, reduce light intensity and timer to 6-7 hours for 2 weeks, add a powerhead and stop adding any amino acid or any thing other than fish food

[@ShrimpDaddy94]

Ok, my dude, I will cut the light back to 6 hours for now. I can't afford the power head right now, but I can use a turkey baster more frequently

[@EIY_Kumar]

@@ShrimpDaddy94 use a cheap Chinese power filter used in freshwater, not need to use a wifi controlled various pattern flow overpriced thing, constant flow 24*7 and yes use turkey baster as well

Do you thing is worth using a tang to eat up the hair algae

[@EIY_Kumar]

@@ShrimpDaddy94 Tangs may help with hair algae but you have cyanobacteria and probably Dinos, they won't be solved by a tang, if anything it will multiply without hair algae I'd suggest you do manual removal and use hydrogen peroxide (dont put peroxide direct on zoas) and then add some snails, a lot, different kinds

[@EIY_Kumar]

@@ShrimpDaddy94 I had added a small foxface thinking it will help me with algae, but it produced so much nitrate that ultimately it was doing the opposite so manual removal, hydrogen peroxide, snails and lower light intensity and photo period and flow and big water changes for 2-3 times
