Hi All,
I need some help please......... Aqua one 275litre 2.5 foot cube
Im battling GHA (i hate the stuff i wish somebody would invent a underwater lawn mower!!! haha)
I have tried a few methods using razor, vibrant, pulling out the hair algae and water changes.
Have clean up crew red leg hermits blue, leg hermits, turbo snails, tomini tang and convict tang.
I also need to move my tank slightly.
I would like to re-scape my tank. I have read up on a few threads but cannot make my mind up...
I have brought a couple of large storage boxes - one for the fish ( will put heater and blower or air bubbler in there too) the other container for my corals. Also how long can they stay in the containers for? as i know this will take a few (or more) hours!
Can i replace all my rock with new rock? have been looking at the caribsea reef rock. or should i take all the rock out and scrub the hair algae off?
With some corals the have a bit of hair algae on should i just scrub these or is there some thing i could dip them in?
With the sand do i need to clean completely i.e.; take all out and rinse, or can i use gravel cleaner and siphon out dirty water?
I was going to keep around 50% of my water and replace 50% with clean natural sea water. ( i use natural sea water for my water changes)
We also have a 6x2x2 tank and a redsea nano reef tank all get the same regime and they don't have GHA.
Once i have changed everything and refilled the tank i will wait maybe a few hours before i put the fish back in.
Sorry if the photos are not very good.
Any thoughts please?
Thanks in advance
