I used to have soem shaving brush in my DT and took them out. Their leaves are like pine needles and when they come off they get all over the tank and what a mess.

they do drop thier nettles, but also your PH at night if it is a small tank

ok that does not sound too good. lol do not really want to pick up pine needles... there are soo many diff kinds of algae to get, just do not want the tang or lmb to eat it... you guys heard of (phaeophyta) sargassum algae, or red grape (botryocladia sp.).. whats the best kinds to throw in dt?
