    what is the best cleanup crew for hair algae and cyano. I was thinking bout getting a algae blenny for the hair algae considering i have so much of it. Or would you guys say just simply a balanced and diverse cleanup crew from reefcleaners is the best option? i need to get some damn macroalgaes to start battling for nutrients.

    Reefcleaners.org is a 3reef sponsor and John Maloney knows his s*it. Fill out the clean up crew form and he'll email you back with what will work. Trust him, he's that good.
