Hi all
just wondering. How do you know if you have a sufficient clean up crew? I have x4 astraea snails x 1 trochus snail. X 2 "fingernail" snails. About 20 asternea stars that chill on rocks and not corals. And a brittle star. Approx 25cm legs. Lol.
I don't know what els to get because I keep getting brown algae on the glass. See pic. http://i827.photobucket.com/albums/zz197/bradlowes/58ff6eb8.jpg
I'm just wondering whether I'm Been daft or should I just keep cleaning this myself? I don't want to pollute the water by just letting it fly off and around my corals / fish as sometimes it's quite stringy unlike a freshwater algae.
:confused5:
also, how can I tell if my clowns are happy? They are eating fine, they are often out and about swimming with my other 3 chromis and don't fight at all. And then retreat to there little cave for a cudddle! Lol. There is no heavy breathing or fast movements of been scared so I think it looks positive but I know everythings all new and learning for me so any help would be appreciated :)
thanks.
