SRC Member vinccc2009 Posted May 17, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted May 17, 2011 I read in a book that say we can establish a algae tank by placing saltwater in a tank with some rocks near the windows. Once rocks covered with algae, can place the orckmin the main tank n let the fishes to eat. Then cycle. Question, this saltwater can just use normal tap water and add sea salt? I would like to do something similar as my Tangs love algae... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member tunicate Posted May 18, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted May 18, 2011 ...by placing saltwater in a tank...some rocks near the windows... Doesn't work that way bro. The rock has to be in the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member vinccc2009 Posted May 18, 2011 Author SRC Member Share Posted May 18, 2011 sorry...i meant rocks in the saltwater for the algae to grow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Copperband Posted May 19, 2011 SRC Member Share Posted May 19, 2011 it might work.... but why take the risk of introducing pesky algae to your tank.... the fishes will eat the algae but its spores will still be in the water.... take the other reefer's advice and get the nori sheet... convenient and doesnt provide a risk of introducing the algae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
