what do you think

hello all.
so I have a 65 G, connected to a 40 G sump which is connected to a 25 G seahorse tank.

the system is on Zeo, the seahorse tank has a 6 " DSB, and there is also a Fuge in the sump with another 6" DSB, and cheato on top.

now, everything is fine, and parameters are good, BUT, when I first set up the seahorse tank, I wanted to make it planted so dropped alot of algea in there :S (grape algera, hamildia, .... ) and now they are all growing all over that tank ( no where else just there) and I see roots in the sand bed !

would it be wise to empty the 25 tonight ? do a 25 G water change, and just empty the whole tank, and the sand, and replace it with a new shallow sand bed ? since the system is on zeo and another DSB is there, I dont think it would raise the parameters by much and just remove all the algea ferom that tank right ?

is scraping the tank glass enough to be sure I got all the algea out ?

any Ideas/opinions are welcome and appreciated.

Why would you want to do that? I'm sure you can do it, but you set it up as a macroalgae tank, and now the macro is growing you want to take it out.

lol I had to pause and actually rethink why for a min haha

the main reason to be honest is that the algea is not growing as nice as I thought it would ! I see some hair algea as well as other types in the mix which dont look that good to the eye, but now that I'm thinking perhaps those macro algea and the DSB combo is removing alot of nutrition which otherwise would probably hurt my SPS in the 65G hmmm

I was kind of hoping to give 100% trust to Zeovit, remove all algea in the seahorse tank and hope Zeo vit will take care of all the algea altogether.

I also got a lot of sponges which I want to put in the seahorse tank, but havent yet since I'm scared the algea would grow ont hem fast and ruin them. the hair algea is going everywhere in that tank, its like its a seperate system by itself !
