Mobile Bay Reef Keepers

I was wondering if a lawnmover blenny & a bicolor blenny could both go together in a 55 gallon tank.

IME, no. That even goes for a much larger tank. The lanwmower almost always harasses the smaller bicolor, mostly due to the same body plan and same dietary preferences.

The reason I ask is because my live rock is covered in what I tjink is hair algae. That I can't get rid of I manually pluck it but it back worse....

Two blennies won't work together.

What are you using for nutrient export?

Fluval clearmax it removes phosphate, nitrite, & nitrate

I have a Bi Colored and a Midas Blenny in the tank that get along great. The Midas dosn't seem to be an algae eater though.

Clearmax is labeled to use caution around inverts. I'd discontinue use to see if it helps at all.

Do you know why they say that I've googled it and found no definate answer I've been using it far several months w/o problems but currently my coral polyps are closed but I also have a molly in there I'm trying to catch. What do you you mean it helps by removing it.

I wasn't paying attention and thought this was your "my corals won't open thread." I'll move my response there.

Its ok....would you happen to know what that media does or contains that might be the cause. I just don't why its causing problems now because its been in my system far awile.

If you have algae that keeps coming back, you might want to figure out WHY it keeps coming back !

All my parameters is in check unless the algae is interfearing with the teats.
