clean my 29 of algae

wkbrdr03 · 02/21/2006, 07:18 PM

ok well i have tried enough stuff to say that i am thouroughly getting F***** by this algae. So this is what I am thinking about doing now. Taking my coral and fish to the lfs store to have them babysat. Then taking the sand out of the tank and the rocks that are getting algae outbreaks. Then just switching those out. Leaving the lights off for a while and getting the fish back in a few weeks. What do you guys think?

the algae grows on 3 specific rocks and not the others

Alter your flow a little then. It sounds like the 3 specific rocks have a lack of current directing at them.
