Algae Fiji Rock and a Tooth Brush

[NDonily]

I have read in a post that someone brushed the algae of his fiji rock with a tooth brush. I have had my LR in my tank for 7 days now , and one piece has alot of algea on it.

 

Would it be a wise thing to brush this algae of with a tooth brush? Or is this just Caaaarazy

 

Looking forward to your replies

if you can, take the rock out and brush/scrub it off. then rinse with some tank or mixed water. trying to rip algae in the tank will likely just disperse it very well. X)

 

sometimes you have to go in there and rip it out with your bare/bagged hands. or if you're very adept with chopsticks you can use that. some of the tongs/grippers on the market are ok too. hth
