I’ve always used margarita snails. They’re easy to get here in the US, but I treat them as disposable because they never last more than a year or two before I have to buy more. I believe it’s because they’re native to cold temperate areas and my reef tank is tropical temperatures
The end is the best part !!! Love all you content since day 1 , you were the 1st video I played after buying a 307 , *still think it is a great little filter for a 150 L planted tank 💙💚
I like your recent content. Please can you do a video showing each of your tanks, I think I spotted a Clarki Clownfish tank. Cellar Marine sounds like they could be worth checking out. Thanks
I've been watching your back log of videos, and I must say I've been enjoying them, even tho I'm not going to be putting macroalgae in my aquarium. Keep up the good work. 👍
Nice one mate, I know a few people who rate Cellar Marine 👍 Dove snails are my favourite I populated a 2nd tank with eggs on a frag rack, between dove snails, stomatellas and asterina stars I've only cleaned the glass once in 2 months! I need to experiment with this before I let the type of asterinas I have in the main tank! 🤔😅 great video!
Do you have any experience with Brightwell's Microbacter 7 or Clean. They are said to help fight red/brown and green algae respectively. I wonder how they would affect display tank macroalgae.
Does sugar dosing melts or stops macro algae from growing ?? My macro algaes just won't grow.. I dose the Tropica Premium fertilizer and have white LED lights I see no progress in the health of the macro algaes .. they are just surviving
@@EverydayAquarist My nitrates are just too high even with regular water changes and all the filtration when I do sugar dosing (very small amount, maybe 1.5 tea spoon for 200 Liters of water) my nitrates are stable but if I don't dose the sugar they keep on rising even with water changes and all the skimming
I hope you had a lovely Easter break. Let me know what you think of my new snails!
Big shout out to Cellar marine ! I use them loads and purchased 2 waterbox with them. Highly recommend the shop and online

Thank you for watching friend!
best hair algae eater for freshwater any suggestions
I watched to the end haha. I'm hoping to one day get some Dwarf Cerith snails but they don't seem to be available at all in the UK!
Thanks! Haven't seen any dwarf cerith

Thanks will do!
Great content!!! .. as usual! So which are the snails compatible with macroalgae but good hair algae eaters?
Cerith
🤣 I wouldn’t call my Margarita Snails fast 🤣 but they are thorough 😇
😂👍

Keep up the good work. 👍
Thanks friend. Hope my old ones aren't too bad!!
@@EverydayAquarist no there not bad dude, I enjoyed them 😀.
It's refreshing see people doing salt tanks in a different way.
Surely I'm not the only one watching till the end 😂 good video bro
Thanks friend!
@@EverydayAquarist I appreciate you bro

I have asterina in my flex and I think they seem to keep algae down too
Cellar are ace. I use their shop loads and also had 2 waterbox tanks through them
Do you have any experience with Brightwell's Microbacter 7 or Clean. They are said to help fight red/brown and green algae respectively. I wonder how they would affect display tank macroalgae.
No, but all these things do is grow bacteria which eats nitrates etc so It would starve display macroalgae of nutrients
@@EverydayAquarist Thanks!
Based on your experience, which fish do you think is the best algae eater? Assume tank size is no problem. Thanks.
To be kept with macroalgae as well or just on its own?
@@EverydayAquarist Sorry, should have been more specific. Just a normal reef tank, no macro algae. Thanks
Rabbit fish are pretty ace
Nice snails!! DOA suck!
They definitely do!
What filter medias do you recommend for a macro tank ?
I let the tank be the bio filter and use the "filter" for mechanical media
Those mollies aren't doing their job 😂😂😂
Nope
Does sugar dosing melts or stops macro algae from growing ??
My macro algaes just won't grow.. I dose the Tropica Premium fertilizer and have white LED lights
I see no progress in the health of the macro algaes .. they are just surviving
Never tried it. Regular waterchanges with good salt will help. Why are you dosing sugar?
@@EverydayAquarist My nitrates are just too high even with regular water changes
and all the filtration
when I do sugar dosing (very small amount, maybe 1.5 tea spoon for 200 Liters of water) my nitrates are stable but if I don't dose the sugar they keep on rising even with water changes and all the skimming
Maybe the tropical Fertiliser has nitrates in. Possibly the lights aren't good enough quality led or correct spectrum
