I would like to rid my tank of the dirty look due to the algae…Ive scrubbed the glass clean…but the substrate looks woeful. How can I improve this?
>>If it’s not sand (as in a deep sand bed) and just crushed coral, I would keep turning it to deprive the algae of light, along with vacuuming small areas over the next month or so with the water changes. >My nitrates are down to 25ppm. Another water change is coming up this Friday. Hopefully this suffice to bring down the nitrates to 5-10 again. >>If it’s on the order of 50%, then I would expect it to go down to around 15ppm or so, possibly less. Then begin weekly water changes, at first a couple of 20%-25%, then reduced to about 10% till things are back in order. >I would like to add some sort of background for the aquarium glass…I tried a reef picture backdrop and it looked dull and drab… >>I HATE those things. Eck.
