My hydroid outbreak was so fast, I got the Medusa jellyfish type and the kind that look like a plant. I don’t know if they came on the seahorses, I suspect they came in on the shaving brush plants I bought. I’ve completed 3 treatments and haven’t seen any signs of them since. I can tell you all the other mistakes I’ve made, like tank choice. The dealer I bought the seahorses from treats all his fish in a copper solution with something else. That’s the reason I went with wild caught. Thanks to your videos saves me from searching for solutions, so thank you for sharing your time with people on RUclips.
Great question. I do a couple of different things. 1. I vary the brine shrimp density so that the tank doesn’t constantly have heavy feedings. 2. I do mini water changes everyday when I vacuum the bottom of the tank. And a larger water change once a week. 3. I swap out or clean the plastic plants when they start accumulating noticeable amounts of algae. 4. I have copepods in the tank. They act as food as well as a mini clean up crew. 5. When algae is really growing rapidly, I sometimes use sea hem pyrogen and phosguard.

Feeding baby brine shrimps can cause headache issues with hairy algae. How can you get rid of it and keep your tank so clean?
