We set up a 28 JBJ in February and have some hair algae in it that we'd like to get some herbivores after. Water parameters are good:

Nitrites, ammonia, phosphate = 0
Nitrates = 2-5
Salinity = 1.025

As far as current livestock, it is mostly LPS coral with about 5-6 snails and 3 pajama cardinals. We feed very lightly and are running GFO and carbon.

Looking for suggestions on herbivores for a small system. Thanks

If you don't have them already, you might want to give 3 or 4 turbo snails a try.

Another vote for turbo snails. Manually remove the bulk of the hair algae and let those industrious mexican turbos go at the remainder

1 mexican turbo or 3-4 regular turbos

Snails and maybe a Lawnmower Blenny.
