Micro Algae?

[drstratton]

I just recently restarted my 75g tank with the rock and sand I had in it originally. It sat fallow for 4yrs. I rinsed the sand and I soaked the rock in a muriatic acid bath. When my tank finished cycling I added live sand activator & wonder mud from IPSF. Is there anything else that I should do to get good micro algae growing in my tank? I want to have a One Spot Foxface & a couple of other grazers. So I want to make sure that I can get my tank set up to provide what they need. Thanks!

I would think that you should have plenty in no time.I would suggest adding a aged rock from another aquarium as a seed.Even something tiny may get the ball rolling.

I'll see if I can get a small piece of rock! Thank you for the reply!
