ok i have a dilemma, i started a npt about a month ago which was a disaster. i had severe algae problems from the get go. i did a lot of research and i found out i made many mistakes that led to my downfall. so now arming mysefl with new knowledge that i got from rereading diane walstads book and from reading all the threads on this website. i am ready to attempt another npt. my first of many questions is. i want to transplant some the the plants from the old tank in the new one. how do i get rid of the algae covering the plants without killing the plants itself. i mean i wouldn't want to transfer plants full of algae to a new tank bc then that tank will be invaded and i'm back to square one.
