hi guys ,i have read that new tanks are likely to go through different algae stages. i have noticed 2 small spots on my sand bed,about the size of silver dollars.not much yet but when /should i take action.it may go away right.

net the spots out and rinse try more flow and less feeding once it gets going it takes over they do have red slime remover works well but always better to find the root of the problem

Algea always ready to show its ugly face. You control by a balance of CUC flow maintance stock and feeding.
