I'm trying to fight off a cyano outbreak and don't want to overfeed my fish, but yet I don't want to under feed them. If I go by what the containers...
I agree, it's a vaild question. The tank is almost a year old and I got the RO unit at the same time. I'm assuming my filters are still good. I have...
I'll have to check. I just did a water change today before I left for work so I don't know what the numbers are right now (I'm still at work). ;D
I get quite a bit of VERY dark green slimy crud...when the inlet isn't blocked... I'll have to check some of the feeding threads. I may very well...
Well, I definately have to get better about my water changes...::) I don't have a canister filter, so no bio balls. But I do have bio wheels on my...
I'm using RO (always have) but I just saw another thread here that sounds like what I may have, Cyanos. I just did a search and found an article that...
I am losing the algae battle. When I do my monthly water changes, I have a LOT of algae to remove. It's like a carpet over the ENTIRE sand bed, my...
Well, with the pump and the hardware it looked about $250 all together.
I plan on removing the powerhead if I go with this setup. Its being used for the UV light mostly and I'll end up putting it in the pump loop.
I would like to get more water movement in my tank. Right now all I have in my 55gal is an over-the-side power filter, a protein skimmer, and a...
OK, here are a couple of pictures. They aren't the best quality but I don't hae a great camera...or know how to take pictures through glass..;D...
I'd say more moldy, like you see on bread. I'll try to get a picture in the morning when I'm back home.
I just got back from a 5 day vacation and it looks like my chocolate chip star has mold on it. Is that what it is? How do I fix it?
Alright, I tried using my siphon and not much happened. The algae was too heavy to go up the tube. All I managed to do was stir it up within the...
Interesting....OK, I'll give it a go. Thanks!
I'm due for a water change on Tuesday anyway. This time I'll try to do some siphoning as well. But, how do I siphon up the green stuff without...
The bulbs are maybe 6 months old at the most. I am using RO water that is prefiltered by a whole-house filter, so that should be good...but I'll...
At first I thought the stuff on the bottom was related to the diatoms because it came shortly thereafter. But now that it has greened up, it seems...
