Algae Attack Pack Basic 55 Gallon
Algae Attack Packs are designed to establish a natural means of controlling algae growth, along with maintaining crystal-clear water in marine aquariums. The number of cleaners in each package is based on our years of experience, and is tailored to provide enough cleaning power for the size of aquarium that you are maintaining.
Algae Attack Pack is a formidable offense that will put algae on the run. Filamentous (hair algae) is mowed down by the hermit crabs, and film algae is wiped away by the snails. All of the members of this pack will also attack various microalgae (including cyanobacteria) that may be found in the aquarium.

I’ve used this pack in my 55-gallon tank for three months. The hermit crabs and snails have significantly reduced both hair and film algae. The tank looks much clearer now, and the animals are active and healthy.

The snails are very effective at cleaning glass surfaces. The hermit crabs are a bit shy at first but settled in after a week. I didn’t see any algae growth in the last two weeks.

Great product for a natural algae solution. The cerith snails are especially good at eating microalgae. My tank has been algae-free for over a month now.
