Algae eating fish

[Z06-Hec]

with the loss of my lawnmower blenny it seems i am growing what i think is hair algae...

What else can i buy that can clean up like that? or does anyone have a lawnmower for some time already that is healthy and for sale?

If its not major problem related to a nutrients, then Mexican Turbo Snails are the best.

I only keep 3 in a 40G. They tackle anything that pops up.

I'm using phosphate rx along w some turbos to fix my hair algae problem. Hopefully it works

i use phosphates RX and it reads if not 0 almost 0. Nitrates are around 10-15.
I have about 3 giant mex turbo but i guess i need more... can't seem to find them that big anywhere though. i had about 6 and some looks to have been eaten.... maybe the crabs... i hate crabs...
but i cannot find them that big anymore...

Mexican turbos is a good alternative. They are usually seasonal and I haven't seen any available recently.

Not sure of your tank size but I always had great luck with Yellow tangs. Also Sea Hares are algae eating machines.

I already have 2 big yellow tangs and a larger purple tang.
I just picked up a yellow wrasse, six line wrasse and a lawnmower blenny.
I plan on getting some giant mex turbo snails.
I never had hair algae when my blenny was around so, hopefully this one does the job as well.
150 gal tank 6 foot long, about 150-200 lbs of rock.
