So I notice on the floor of my sump is almost like an astroturf of what we'll call "nuisance" algae, it doesn't exist in my main tank, in fact it grows right on the precipitated alk that crusts on the surface of the sump. But here's my question should that be routinely cleaned out?
Ignoring cross contamination to the display tank I have two schools of thought on this
1) Nah it's fine there, in fact it's absorbing nutrients and stuff, might even be full of pods and he like, leave it where it's at
2) Yank it, pieces of food could get caught in it it, breaking down the wastes, and it'll grow back anyways so pull as much as possible.
So anyone have any thoughts?
