Hi, I'm fighting a Staghorn algae problem which I suspect hitched a ride with one of the plants I bought a few months ago. I was wondering if I place my current fish in a temporary tank and tear down the one with the problem to bleach and disinfect everything. I would then do a fishless cycle to get things started again and put the fish back in after all this is accomplished. Basically I'd throw away all the plants and probably the substrate and start everything over.
What I'm wondering is, would I be carrying the spores to the temporary tank (via fish waste or something like this) only to bring it back into the main tank?
