As I have been cycling my first tank I have been doing some research on what I want to put in it. I want a COLORFUL tank for now. I am looking at a pair of clownfish, Orange/Green Colony Polyps and a Blue Tuxedo Urchin.
I have read the Polyps take care of themselvs for food as they contain a Symbotic Alage that they feed on.
The Urchin concerns me though because I read it has a voracious appetite for algae. Is there a certain time period for algae to build up I should wait to add this intersting and cool looking fellow? Are there any visual cues I should use or any ways I can speed up the algae process?
