I have a friend who has just started a fresh water aq. I turned she and her husband on to The Forum but she's also 8mo.s pregnant{issues} so I'm...
The uv has been running now for 3 weeks and I noticed a slow down {less sludge} in the protein skimmer. Is that a cause of the uv doing its job or I...
Maybe the snails are starving. The only reason I say this is in the past I was losing snails. I pinned some seaweed to the side of the tank to feed a...
You're right Craig, sorry Mike. About the Zooplankton, I'd be afraid to dose anything liquid or powder. I used to dose Coral Vital also, which is a...
The turbo fans sound great. Do you hook them up to the canopy? Where can I find them? Craig, what is a Swamp cooler vent?
I just went through the algae war in my tank from dosing Phytoplankton. I think it was Craig that told me it is pure phosphate. Needless to say I...
I really don't have room to hang pendants, however I was reading about a Custom Sealife combo metal halide/power compac system that can be placed...

Okay, it's been two weeks since I installed the UV and I hope this isn't wishfull thinking but my algae harvesting has been cut in half. A very good...
I don't feed the trumpet/candy cane, the open red I feed once a week{krill}just 1/2 of a krill. The Bubble gets fed once a week also, same amount as...

I have my actinics come on approx. 1/2 hr. before my daylights, and go off 1/2 hr. later for a total of 10 hrs.
I agree, it all makes sense. I just had to read it first, if that makes any sense. I stopped dosing the Phyto. and I can see a difference in just a...
