How do you get rid of green algae in a salt water aquarium?
I have a 65 gallon salt water aquarium that keeps getting that awful green algae on the rocks & bottom of the tank. I have cut down the time that the light is on, bought more snails & that still hasn't helped.
Add natural algae eating critters. Various forms of green, brown and red algae can provide browsing food for many types fish and inverts, and many macroalgae species are actually cultivated in the aquarium for this purpose. There are a lot of marine inhabitants that depend on algae as a major part of their diets. Tangs and Surgeonfishes of the Zebrasoma & Ctenochaetus species, and most Angelfishes are prime examples.
If your fish friends can't keep up with the algae growth, you can periodically harvest it to keep it in check without completely eradicating it from your system. Introducing additional herbivores like Snails and Hermit Crabs, as well as detritivores like Starfishes, Cucumbers and Marine Worms are all greatly beneficial. Just be sure to get the correct types that will eat the kind of algae you are dealing with.
Grow some competitive macroalgae. In Robert Fenner's (author of The Conscientious Marine Aquarist) WetWebMedia Green Algae-The Chlorophyta article he discusses both good and pest types of macroalgae. Under the Benefits - Algae Control section he points out that by growing an initial batch of algae, this in turn can "limit" the growth of unwanted pests types like slime, hair, fungus and bacteria forms. Because all algae compete for the same light, nutrients and space that is available in an aquarium, the growth of a good type of competitive macroalgae deprives the pest types of these elements to grow aggressively.
