some of them you can just rub it on the surface, rub till gone, some you just cut of the left.

if moss got, then you just see and monitor, if stop growing then is ok, mine that day take out all the moss, and re-tide all back, those got grow with HA one i just throw it, the rest tide it back lo...

for wat purpose?
for planted tank, we recommended outside at the back, or so call HOB(Hang On Back) type.
this is because if use the inside 1, will create more heat.. in which we not recommend

can try bleach them...
using mixture of 1:100 (1 of clorox + 100 of water)
put them inside for ~1min, then rinse them completly to remove the clorox....

yeap, u can introduce large batch (large in qty, 10 at least) of yamato...
SAE will do the job also, but need to starve them...

for me . bigger is better .. because water parameter is easier to handle .. and colder temp because of the big water surface . but the aquascape is the hard part .. haha

catacombs, where you get the hairgrass, in malacca here got?
the shop that i bring you go there one sell it?
i want it...
otto will eat some of the algae, but then not hair algae, unless the hair algae grow on those big big leave surface, then otto will eat, mine is all done by the SAE...

btw, my moss like dying, or like not much nutrition. that day take out and throw those grow with algae one, then re-tide and re-scape it, now like dying... sob sob... need to monitor few days and see...

haha, yaya, the bigger the tank the parameter will be more stable compare to small one. but then the bigger the tank, the expenses will get way too high already... haha...
