 Re: Will my rock die???
O.K. the live rock has been in the tank for just over 2 weeks and the purple color is coming back and the life is going crazy. Got my rock from a guy on eBay, fosters??? something like that. Anyway, I have noticed some light algae growth on the glass, just wipes off. Also, some green hairlike algae on the rocks. I have used a toothbrush to clean off some of the green stuff.
Was wondering if I can get a snail to clean the algae away for now. I mean before I start to put fish in. Just ran water tests and everything is perfect. SG is a little low, 1.020-1.021, but I was going to do a water change this coming weekend. Also, the Ph went from 8.0 to 8.2. Something else I should test for, alkalinity, or something I can add to "buffer" the Ph???
Any advice would be greatly appreciated... _________ 65 gallon reef tank. 20 gallon homemade refugium. homemade hood w/ 2x250 MH lights. 150 lbs live rock, 40 lbs live sand.
