I had (have) a 29 gallon tank that I transferred all my fish out of to the larger 120 I have. The only items in the smaller tank are some
live rock, a small zoa
frag and some Xenia (not sure about spelling). I noticed in the small tank there are TONS of these little bug like “pods” all over the sand and on the back wall of the tank. Should I try and transfer there creatures to my new tank for some beneficial purpose, or should I not worry about that? If I should transfer them, how would I accomplish a task like this.
The other question I have is that I’ve viewed many “nicely kept” reef aquariums online and I’ve almost always saw some sort of brownish algae on the surface of the sand or a brownish layering below the sand that is visible through the front glass as you can see the depth of the sand bed. I have some of that brownish algae on my sand and I always try to get rid of it. Question is…should I worry about this growth or is this a typical occurrence that will always happen and is a normal thing in an aquarium?
Thanks.
