I'm buying an existing 75g tank complete with LR. The tank has been let go and not maintained for quite some time. I went to see it last night and 100% of the LR is covered in cayno and this short stubbly algae. Not sure what color the other algae is because it's covered in cayno. How would I go about getting rid of that much algae. I was thinking about boiling each rock to completely kill everything. I'm not really worried about killing all the good bacteria because I'll be seeding it with 60LBS of LR from my current tank. Any suggestions or thoughts on this one? Also, all the powerheads are completely covered in cayno. Would vinegar soak do the trick to kill everything?
