Hello all,
For the past few months my 10year old and I have been slowly gathering equipment for a little 55g project. We were almost there but when installing plumbing I cracked the glass. I thought we were back to square one however this morning we inherited a complete 90g set-up from a family friend. Almost twice the tank only for a few hours of driving and gas money... and my Princess is happy again!
I had originally intended this experiment to be from ground zero and using only 'new' Tank, Sump, Plumping, LS, LR, etc... and this tank as of last night was healthy and well cared for.
My questions are as follows:
* The tank is encrusted with beuatiful coralline algae. Should I scrape it all off and start off clean, or leave it be?
* We recieved about 60lbs of LS. Should we dump it or start over?
* We recieved about 80lbs of LR. Some of it does have green algae but most all of it is encrusted in coralline algae. Boil/Clean it or leave it and try and treat the green algae?
Any and all advice sugestions and recomendations are greatly appreciated!
Thanks- Woody
