The sea hares seemed to be a tad overwhelmed by the all the algae so we took more drastic measures. During our last water change, we filled two buckets with a couple of gallons of water from the tank. Then we started the arduous task of pulling each piece of rock out and scrubbing the algae off of it. Then it was rinsed in the other bucket and set aside. We did this until we had cleaned all the rock and then started re-rockscaping. Mellina did an absolutely wonderful job of redoing the rocks. The setup is better than we’ve ever had with this tank. The algae has definitely receded but we’re really hoping that now the sea hares can eradicate the remaining algae and we can have our beautiful tank back.
