Fair enough. So you'd say leave it and wait for it to get out-competed, or whatever ends up happening to it, on its own? I don't hate looking at it, but don't necessarily want a tank full of it either. I don't really have anything that's eating much of it. The urchin stumbled onto some.Algae is our friend. I change water about 4 times a year and I really don't have to. I think people change way to much water.
I actually felt a little guilty about skipping the water change. But everything I'm testing for seems ok. Considering this is a young tank, would you still stay pretty hands-off barring any major disasters that might actually necessitate a water change? Like the dog falling in or something?
Won't be cursing your name if anything goes wrong regardless. Just curious how you'd handle it. Since general consensus on the forum seems to be regular water changes are one of the key maintenance tasks, and I'm a sucker for a good contrarian opinion.
