My aquascape is cemented together so I can't remove it or else I'd scrub rocks in a bucket as others have mentioned.
Tank is a couple of months old. "New" rock not live rock so it's not encrusted with coralline algae yet. I'm battling algae that's eating up all my nutrients...only a couple of fish so I'm feeding very little.
Is there any downside to scrubbing the rocks with a toothbrush a couple of times a week to get the algae off. Obviously it's not getting sucked out during a water change at that point and is going to end up in my filter roller...but other than using more filter roller than "usual" is there really any downside to just brushing off the rocks a couple of times a week?
BTW - Larger cleanup crew on order...had to wait till after the holidays as reefcleaners wasn't shipping via USPS.
