After a disastrous first attempt at Aquascaping I'm giving it another go. In a nut shell I think I was a bit too adventurous with my initial layout and the substrate collapsed mixing up the different layers I had used to create a beach effect and ended up with a brown mush. Then all that seemed to grow was hair algae and finally to add insult to injury my tank got over taken by snails before I even got to put a single fish in it! I ended up disconnecting everything and letting it sit as a green blob in the corner of the room for six months. After much research I'm starting again so I bought some PP to soak everything before starting again. As I do not have any fish to kill and only a couple of plants that miraculously survived the 6 month negelect (Anubias nana bonsai), I was going to soak everything in PP to make sure that there are no snails or eggs lurking before I start again next week. So could someone tell me the ratio of PP to use bearing in mind I do not need to be particularly gentle. Also will PP kill of any straggling hair algae? I appreciate hair algae is result of too much light and not enough co2 but if there is any left on anything I'm putting back in the tank does this give it a head start?
