Hi wantsome,

I don't think you want to completly break down your tank to get rid of the blue green alage until you have tried some other avenues. Try using a double dose of the maracyn for several days with a black out, and more water changes for a while to see if this will get rid of it. You may want to remove your exposed pots so that you don't get a reaccurance. The Seachem products will work for you if you want to go that route, you will need florish, florish excel, florish potassium, florish nitrigne, and possibly florish iron. Or you can get a starter pack of dry ferts at greenleaf aquariums and follow the ei or pps pro regimes for fertilizing. Check the fertilizing part of the forum and read the stickies this will help you alot
