Hello,
Over the past day or so I have noticed the beginnings of the algae in my 29 gallon. It has about 20lbs of "curing" liverock and is on week three with nothing else in it other than sand. The algae is predominantly brown but I have notiecd some green as well as grassy looking red.
Here is my question:
Next week I will be leaving town for about five or six days and I do not want to come home to a tank that I cannot see into... Should I put in a small cleaning crew now and if so will they be able to survive on what is in the tank alone, also what would you recommend for a cleaning crew. I'm completely open to suggestions I just don't want anything that will eat my featherdusters :)
Thanks!!!
Adam
