I've got a lot of hair algae (brown/green) on and growing out of my live sand.
I've just bought a plastic sieve to attempt to sieve the sand through it and catch the algae to get it out of the tank.
With a lot of the bacteria in my tank being in the sand, what precautions should I take while disrupting the sand?
What would be the best way to sieve it to preserve the bacteria in it?
Please help!
