New tank from established tank. Quick question!
Hello! i am setting up a biocube and i plan to use a lot of stuff from my current tank because I am thinking I can outsmart the cycle. SO... my current tank has algae, a spot of hair algae, and i have to scrub the glass daily from this green cloudy algae. If i use the stuff from this tank, will I be having the same algae problems in my new tank? AND/OR can I start from 100 percent dry rock and sand to avoid the algae. WHY do all the petstore display tanks have no algae?!?!
Thanks a bunch!! |

No matter what, you will still have algae. Dead rock, live rock, soaked in muranic acid rock, you'll have it.
Phosphate and nitrate control. Aka food for the little buggers.
