Hi Guys,

So I have dinos present at the moment due to 3-4 month old tank.

I’ve been told not to do any cleans and just let it do its thing….. as ugly as it is.

There is however a lot of brown algae that goes up the glass and I want to clean it off some of it I believe is from the rock aquascape leaning on the glass where it’s positioned, has anyone taken the rocks out and cleaned them, would this make any difference?

I also feed my guys twice a day and it’s half a tsp at each time I have 5 guys in there and all my inverts… should I continue or reduce?

I don't have rocks against the glass because then it can't be cleaned. I wouldn't remove and clean the rocks in a new tank. Move the rock away from the glass and just clean the glass. I have to clean mine every other day in all of my tanks. Just part of the maintenence
