NEED SOME HELP FAST, How to take hair algae off rock?

Dude settle down. Like you, no pro. Not pretending to be. Just repeating something I was told. I believe I stated that I didn't know for sure the truth of the statement. All I was trying to do is reassure the OP that it wasn't the end of the world, as I'm sure it's not. It is possible that my lack of proper terminology gave the statement a slant that was entirely Unintended. Let me try to repeat with more specificity what I was told. I was told that if the bacterial colony becomes too large, there will not be enough ammonia, nitrate, etc to feed the colony in a an established system. So to take one or two rocks out, let them dry, and put them back, gives the colony food. Or so I understand what was said. Hence, the OP may not have done THAT much harm to the tank. If there proves truth to the statement. My apologies if there proves none.

It's bad advice. And it's bad advice because it's not true what you're saying. You're suggesting advice to someone and then admit you don't even know if it's true. But don't mind me, fire away.
If you want to listen to nonsense then knock yourself out. I don't want to, I'm going to voice my opinion when I blatantly see it and warning people (you in this case) when people are giving advice out advice like that.
I might have been a bit harsh, but at the time I was shocked at what I was reading.
Monsterfishkeepers might be good to read about throwing big fish in small tanks but the marine help section leaves a lot to be desired.
Oh it's not like that. It seemed reasonable enough to me. I do apologize to the OP for the bad info though. And you could be nicer about it!! There's a defined difference between being a jerk and trying to help someone. As I believe we've seen here... Perhaps next time, instead of making fun of someone who had received bad advice from another, you could jovially help that person out. But don't mind me, fire away!

From now on I'll just butt out and leave it to the ''pro's''. All the best with your tank, I've got a feeling it's going to be a real cracker.
That's not what I Said. I said be nice. I know that I'm a newbie and in my efforts to help out, I'm bound to screw up. I think we all count on the pros to help us keep things straight and catch us when we fall, as we are all bound to do at one point or another. My hope is that someday I will have the knowledge to help others with more certainty.
And for the record, my tank is just fine. Thanks though for the wish of luck. We could all use it from time to time. I say that with sincerity, not sarcasm.
