So, I've been dealing with algae in this tank for about 6 months now. It's gha brought in I'm sure by some type of livestock. Nutrients have been kept in check but I must be getting mislead by test numbers as gha keeps growing. I've been adding cuc to this tank little by little, tank is just under 10 gallons, and just a couple days ago I was ready to tear out the rockwork and basically start over. I added 14 more hermits today and after cleaning the tank yesterday I'm starting to feel the cuc is becoming big enough to be effective. I also have a ton of snails coming, and a pitho crab. I'm not sure how many more members of the cuc I need, I was watching the new hermits today and they are all over the rock doing work. Tank has a little uv as well..
I guess I don't really have a question, just wanting to have a place I can track my progress with it and take any advice people want to leave. Thanks for reading. I continue to beef up the Bacteria population as well as giving it 2 cleanings a week minimum. Plan was to add like 16 snails on Thursday but idk if it would be too much. As of now there's prolly like 6 snails and 20+ hermits in there.
