Came back from vacation to bubble algae starting to sprout up. Phosphates are high, everything else is inline. Bad part is the emerald crab died. Maybe not getting enough pellets/flakes from the auto feeder? Any who... Does this seem like a decent enough plan of attack:
1. Pull rocks with bubble algae and pluck of with tweezers.
2. Scrub the rest of the rock in salt water
3. Leave rock in a bucket for 3 days with no light. Powerhead, airstone, heater
4. Scrub again, rinse, put back in tank.
At the moment I only have CUC in the tank. But starting Sunday I will be adding the first of 3 fish that finished up QT.
Oh, picking up protein skimmer today.
