Aquarium Advice Regular
I'm looking at buying a large second hand tank (5x2x2) and sump setup.
the tank has a lot of coral sand 3-4" and a lot of what was described a tuffa rock and volcanic rock.
on the rock and within the sand is a lot of brown mushroom type groth.
the seller was honest and said that they were described as vermin and that they can overtake the tank. does anyone know what these might be, and are they imposssible to clear?
thats about all is on the rock apart from one or two pieces with a couple of interesting growths.
i intned on striping down the tank and sarting again with live rock.
i have a couple of questions.
if i kept the sand and a couple of pieces of this rock would these brown mushrooms overwhelm my tank again?
are they present in every marine tank and is there anyway of controlling them?
cheers lads and lasses
