@stewy14 . How about a lawnmower blenny?
clown is WAAAAYYY to aggressive, trust me, I really want one
its a 11 gal
what if, I get a mushroom box/acclimation box, put it at the bottom of the tank with the blenny in it, keep it in there until my clown is fine with it?(ik, kinda abuse but...)

Well I set myself up. I just meant a clown won’t help his algae problem.

Conch will just clean sand. I have them in two tanks I never see them in rocks or glass.

His rock is bound up wit phosphates he needs gfo or Phosguard running 24x7 ( for now) and replaced every couple days, until all that phosphate is sucked out of the rocks

I have tried everything
my tank is also in my room, which have 3 windows, my mom won't let me move it anywhere, so its really just that
but I dont know what to do to take algae off
emerald crab
decorator crab
35+astreas
5+nass's
im getting a new conch cuz my emerald killed my conch................................................
*cough*asterinas*cough*
and a clown(they eat algae... very very very small amount, just a little fun fact :D)
I have lowered lighting, I have stopped dosing(which kinda caused before, but ye, I stopped dosing long time ago, when I never knew the affects it had)
I think that is all?
EDIT: oh yea and a giant Mexican turbo snail
Have you tried a water change? Your cleanup crew is bigger than the one I have in my 20 gallon. 8 hermit, 5 nassaurius, 10 cerith, 10 nerite. At least that’s what I put in. I suspect that some breeding has happened and I’ve picked some up and lost some others.

You are not in danger lol

And once the phosphate is out of the rocks and situation is resolved we dial back control methods

Phosphate comes from fish food, waste etc. it’s going in the tank everyday. Just cause you measure zero, doesn’t mean you don’t have any. You can’t measure what’s in the rock. And you can’t get it out of the rock, unless you keep the water phosphate free or very low phosphate.

I ran 0 to near zero phosphate for 18 months. My tank did great and I grew many of the corals you see in it now

Your corals will get phosphate added to water naturally and they will feed off light. You can do amino acids for vitamins and those don’t increase phosphates. Plenty of food for the corals.

No breeding
But, I have a collection of lost snails on my driveway XD the ants go for it, I don’t rlly wanna go all the way downstairs, then outside, just to throw them out, so I drop them out of my window
But, is there anything else I should put in besides 1 conch, some money (what are they called again)? And what else?
Also have 2 blue legged hermits, story for another time
