I am moving and have totally stripped my tank but noticed what I thought was moss taking over was actually green hair algae.
I have took all my ornaments and rocks out and have them soaking in boiling hot water. I then plan on scrubbing all algae off. Then boxing them up in complete darkness until I move. Will this kill the algae or when I reset and recycle my tank will it suddenly reappear?
I am also changing all gravel to sand upon moving so no worries on spores remaining in there.
Could adding salt to the boiling hot water help kill it? Or any special treatments? I am popping to my LFS tomorrow but dont want them to sell me anything for the sake of it, as some do.
Forgot to mention it was a tropical not marine tank
