The bulbs are power compacts, and they are 6 months old. I have taken to the LFS to verify results, and both tests agree.. Thanks for the...
It not forming the normal 'sheet' like cyano does, instead it just appears that the stuff is getting pretty thick in some areas. My nitrate are...
My nitrates are 5ppm and phosphates are 0ppm.. This is why I am so confused...:confused:
Just last week I started a tread about this VERY same thing. I thought that it was cyano at first, but it turned out to be diatoms. My sand is...
Well the phsgaurd had an adverse reaction with my brown button polyps... :confused: I removed it, and started a new pack of carbon to remove any of...
This stuff is getting thicker, and is becoming "stringy"... I think that filamentous may be a more appropriate term. Is this still typical of...
I am sure that there will be some that disagree with me, but I would reduce my number of hermits (get rid of two), and increase the number of turbo...
It is possible that the hermit crab was hungry and ate it, but it may just be hiding for right now. IME, where there is one, there are usually...
So far I am trying Phosgaurd (Seachem) to try and reduce the silicates. (My phosphates are 0 already). All this seems to have started when I...
Hmmm... I'll take your word for it!! :cheesy:
I suppose only time will tell. :)
Somebody please correct me if I am wrong, but 10 percent of 20 ppm is only about 2ppm (leaving a total of about 18ppm nitrates in your tank). This...
OH, ok.. I was worried that it wasn't working correctly due to my poor workmanship.
OOOOOOOO.... I feel a bit silly.. :confused: HEHEHE, I'm glad you guys are on here to straighten me out! ;D How about the elevated nitrates?...
OOOOPPS!!! I typed pc lights, but i meant CF's (What's the difference?)... Grrr me, and my non-functioning brain.....:angry:
Hmmm.. I'll test the mix water for silicates. I use R/O, but you never know! :) the PH is a steady 8.4 (chemi-pure buffered this, and it hasn't...
the tank is relatively new.. 8 months, hmmm. only three or four hermit crabs, 5 huge turbo grazers, and a countless number if nasarius snails. the...
I knew that tank was bad news!!! :cheesy: Any ideas on how to get rid of it? My banded sleeper goby is spreading it ALL over everything.. The...
I believe that it is probably safe to label this as being cyano, but second opinons would be great! :) I do have some questions because I'm not...
Running at about 72 hours now. The output is 1.0ppm nitrite and 20ppm nitrate. My tank is at 5ppm nitrate.. So, it appears to be making nitrates....
