Hello! I’m trying to figure out if this is what I want to do or not, I have a 31 gallon AIO and I’m unfortunately having an aptasia and hair algae issue, it’s getting to the point where some of the corals are closed assuming from the aptasia. I had the idea to move the corals and dip them, then quarantine them in a separate tank and dip all the rocks, but I would need to do something about the sand since it’s probably in that as well, would this be an okay idea? Just overhaul it pretty much, and use the same water just replace or throughly clean the sand. I don’t really want to do aptasia X and hope I can get it all since I’ve felt with this before, any ideas would be helpful, Thanks!
