I love poto
They have great customer service
And great pieces.
They also like to haggle (live sales and even on stuff they have listed on their site)
14 day guarantee on corals!
You can’t go wrong buying from them if your in the states!
They are located in staten island, New York.

Those cerith snails will do you really good for cyano and film algae.
If you really want to knock out that hair algae turbos would be best bet.
If you want to help them out a good rock scrub and rinse to knock all that big stuff back should get you to where your trying to go. Once you flip the script and start winning the fight your cuc will help keep it manageable. But never going to accomplish that this way.

Awesome!

Oh yes bro, turbo snails DESTROY GHA. The one I have in there now (about the size of a half dollar) took out all of the GHA on a chunk of live rock, in a single day. I would much rather vacuum out snail poop than try to remove strands of GHA.

Won’t removing rocks mess up the tank? I mean, the live rocks are well established, and house a variety of creatures.

What kind of rock did you start with?
And no your rock is fully established with gha at this point. Def couldn't hurt to pull it out. Scrub with plastic kitchen brush. Rinse in water change water and put back it.

If you have rock in from ocean id go one even further and rinse in tub with high power nozzle at tank temp and power blast the top of the rock clean after you scrub it.
Would not reccomend that with dry rock unless its been in system for a solid 4 yrs.

70% dry and 30% live.

That sounds good to get all those nasties out. However, my rocks are just stacked, not concreted together. So if I take all of them out, then I might not be able to get the stack correct again. Plus there are coral on those rocks.

Not meaning to ignore your advice, but I am hesitant. :/

Yeah if your not comfortable doing it def don't. I will say ive scrubbed rocks around corals and even blasted them off in tap water(around corals) and never lost one. Just have to be super careful.

You can use a tooth brush in tank and scrub them. Pull off extra long stuff
