100% reef safe fishes and inverts...

i already have a pair of clown, and plannin on adding red antina goby or chromis.

 

i have loads of algae in my fuge too... also my plan is to keep one in DT and one in fuge after the DT tank is clean. or ill sell off 1 urchin and keep only one...

 

here is my tank vid, if u can see the algae, it grows straight from the rock..... my corals are growing really good though, really bushy...

My 25g reef tank update - YouTube

 

There isn't enough algae in there to support one long term let alone 2.

Try manual removal (pull as much as you can off the rocks), and a a few good snails and better water quality you will be much better off.

 

its so hard, that if i pull, the entire rock gets pulld up.... but wudnt sea urchin eat it? i can trim it though...

 

+1 do you top off with tap water? ATM manual removal, water changes, and cutting back on feeding will be your best friends.

What is your livestock as far as fish?

 

we've had 2 half inch anemone crabs living in a 3 inch Rock/Flower pot anemone for about 8 months. They never leave it and are doing fine. We feed the anemone a small blob of Formula One every 3 or 4 days.

We added a 3/4 inch anemone crab that is now hosting a 5 inch frogspawn coral for a month. LPS coral and crab are doing fine.
They are two feet apart from the smaller rock anemone crabs.

Our two 3 inch skunk cleaner shrimp are doing fine for the last year.

I was told by our LFS that the anemone shrimp I wanted to buy needed its own anemone to survive. We never got into what type of anemone it would need. It was living on a 5 inch Long Tentacle anemone in the shop.

The urchins will be a really cool mistake.
Bulldozers, eats coralline algae, starves.
I keep looking at them in the shops, but they will never work out in our 75 gallon tank.

Try dwarf cerith snails and nerite snails and astrea snails instead, or a few black and white dwarf zebra hermits, or the classic blue leg dwarf hermits.
They have Minimum Bulldozer Potential.
We have all of the above and zero algae, except coralline and Macro.

We've already had to relocate the following bulldozers - turbo snails, electric blue and electric orange hermit crabs, Halloween hermit crab, even 1 larger Scarlett hermit crab.

Hope this helps, Matt

 

I use RO water, iv done all this, but never got rid of that.....
jus 2 clowns and snails

actually my rocks are leachin po4, water test shows 0 and im also using gfo

 

So u suggest everything together in one tank will be fine... except for urchins.. but wat if i add just 1? i dont care if they eat my coralline, as iv got loads and i know it comes back pretty fast.. iv heard they do eat algae too and i have loads in my fuge too incase they are hungry, they wont starve... im from india, and the issue is we only get turbos here, no other snails...

 

I'm not sure you have enough algae to keep 1 turbo or urchin happy long term.
The turbo snail will probably eat less and last longer without supplimental feeding. Both will bulldozers.

I would only get 1 urchin. You may have to move it back and forth from your display tank to you sump (in a cup of tank water) every 5 or 6 days (guessing on time frame).

If you have access to the smaller hermit crabs mentioned above, I would get 2 or 3 of those instead.

Hope this helps, Matt
