Aquarium Advice FINatic
First a little backgroung... About a year ago, i moved to a new house. My tank was about half a year old when i moved it and after the move i was attacked viciously by hair algae. EVERYTHING in the tank was covered in algae and I could berely even see the rocks. This developed for about 3 months after the move until there was so much algae there couldnt even be any more. At the time, I thought I would be going away for college in a few months, so I basically just gave up on the tank because i wouldnt have anywhere for it (I ended up going to a college I can drive to from my house, so im going to continue living at home now =/ ). I gave away the inhabitants, covered it up, and didnt think about it until now. Well, now that i know im going to be staying here i want to start the tank back up again. I just need some advice on how to clean everything so that it wont cause any problems. As of yesterday, the water had evaporated down to about 1/3 and everything was still covered in algae. So far, I used a wet/dry vac to drain all of the water and I took out all of my old LR and used a brush to scrub off the algae on it. Right now it is sitting outside drying. What should i do to further clean the live rock? how should I clean out the inside of the tank?
