Couple of questions for you guys!!
My Christmas present from my husband this year is a protein skimmer (think I'm gonna go with a Prizm) and live rock. I have a 20 high tank. Before I put the new rock in I want to try and take care of these problems:
-I have a hair algea problem. Not too bad, but I need to get it off of my rocks. How do I scrub this off?? I mean, do I do it in a bucket of saltwater and just take a brush to the rock?? How do I do this without killing the little guys that are living on it (like feather dusters and such)??
-I have bubbles all over the place pretty bad. They seem to be coming up from under the sand. I can see that my sand is full of air pockets where it hits the glass. I have taken my finger and dug through it once or twice letting all the air escape, but it just comes back a couple of days later. What could be causing it??
Thanks everyone!!
