in battling red bubble algae growing on all my rock. (i belive due to having very poor water circulation) i am starting the cooking rock routine as previously posted within reef central. all of the rock has been removed and in buckets of saltwater for a few weeks. should i also replace the argonite base?? (about 1 1/2")
it stands to reason the algae spores could remain within the argonite, although it has never actually grown on it...

Boy, I sure hope you do not have any livestock in that tank :confused:

What will maintain your biological filtration ?

I would pitch any sand substrate, since it can collect nutrients and is hard to clean.
