jonathanw is an unknown quantity at this point
The bottom tank is now very thick with copepods. Probably about 20-30 per square inch on the glass. I have a bit of red algae that I scoop out every morning and evening and shake into the main tank for the "Blennie". Only thing is that it turns out that I misidentified it. It is actually a Hawkfish. Still very very good at finding the copepods.

2 questions.

I have had a problem with hair algae so wanted to reduce the amount of food that I have been putting into the tank. The Hawkfish is now the only fish, so I want to know if just feeding him copepods morning and evening is enough or should I also add in flake food?

I have tried to put a few different kinds of green macroalgae into the bottom tank and within a week it disappears. Completely gone! Are the copepods eating it? The red algae is quite hard and it doesn't seem to be affected at all. The only other things in the tank are some turbo snails and hermit crabs -- and a hitchhiking anenome.
