I have my 20 gallon now for two months. I just returned my damselfish for store credit and bought some live rock. I know, I know...I did things backwards. Anyway, my problem is with algae. It's gowing profusely all over the live sand and the glass of the aquarium. It's dark green and grows in a matter of one day! I try stirring it and burying it, but it grows back fully in 24 hours. No idea if this is normal or if there is something wrong.
Also, I've added some ornaments (fake plants, a sculpture) to the tank. Do those have to be cleaned when I do water changes? How do I keep algae off the ornaments?
