Thanks, it's not new but I opened up the blind to let some light in that sits behind the tank so that's probably helping.

I removed alot of hair algae from tank #03 (which is the only one with it at the moment) today, this much :lol: The algae in the sand and on the tank walls comes away easy but on the rocks its pretty baked on so bring on the snails!!!
I also added all 4 of my new zebra nerites to help clean up the tank of algae, ive taken some before photos so hopefully in a few weeks time i can add the after photos to see how good of a job they did.
I acquired some chaeto a few months back which had so far stayed alive so I transferred it to my main tank (#03), i put it in the feeding dish so i can remove it if it dies.

They are really tearing into the algae! I am tempted to buy a few more to speed up the process then move them to some of my smaller tanks when it all gets on top of.

I love this video, Odin. I watch it over and over again. I can feel my blood pressure going down as I watch it.

I've spotted 3 large snail eggs tonight, i doubt they will ever hatch but the new zebra snails must be happy with the water parameters.
