I've been battling with hair algae for more than a year. There was so much hair algae that my tank looked like moss planted tank. *I've tried many things including raising magnesium and turning my lights off for many many months, but as soon as I turn the light back up, the tank is covered with hair algae all over again. So finally I gave up and took the whole tank down and starting everything over from scratch.*
I've let the rock dry out of the water for over a week in hope that it would dry and kill everything. But now I'm not so sure. *The problem is, the hopefully dead dried rocks are now stacked up beautifully in the empty tank. So, I continue to bake them under 400w metal halide bulb.
Here are the questions:
1. Are the hair algae and other bad stuff really dead?
2. Should I still bleach them just to be sure no nasty stuff is coming back?
3. If so, can I just add water and bleach to the tank? The rocks are already beautifully stacked up, and more importantly, I've already paid the guy for setting them up. >..<
