friend is tired of his tank and breaking it down.the rock has alge growing but is also covered with shrooms,montipora,and some lps that look good.i set up an iso tank.do i scrub off and leave in iso with poor liting for awhile?do not want to add to established 90 with the algae on the rock and would prefer not to remove the corals that are attached because of the way they have grown together.thanks

do you have an algae problem in your established tank? if not and params are goodyou should be able to scrub and put in. but if you have underlying problems in your tank the algae will grow regardless of how much you scrub it. its all goin to depend on how healthy your 90 is.
