New Rock...?
Hi All,
Just a Quick Question... I bought some new rock (about 50lbs of tonga) from a local guy getting out of the hobby, and there is quite alot of "green flowy algea" on it.. Should I: A: remove it now B: leave it until the end of the cycle OR C: leave it because my future tang might want to eat it?  |

I've also found that those extra large turbon snails (what's written on the tank) @ LFS d/t work really well on my hair algae problem. Bit of a bulldozer though.

they are like snails without shells, very large and they eat a lot of hair algae.

In the end, you may be able to get a couple turbo snails to finish it off.
