Good article. I was wondering if the author would consider the daily addition of ammonia that a fish would create, and compensate accordingly (He...
You can have 2 or three types of algae growing at the same time. I have. I have recently got a bloom of green hair algae under control, and now a...
Omar, that's pretty good advice. We should "bump" this post every three months so that more people will read it. -- Steve
I really like my Nova Extreme. I've had it for over a year now. Boy, it is bright! That took some getting used to. I definitely recommend wiring it...
OH, JohnO! I love it when you talk like that! :laugh5:
How'd you figure out it was aiptasia?
The pictures aren't really helping. How big is it? Your description sounds like a dragonfly larvae (if it was a freshwater tank).

Yes, temperature affects specific gravity. The colder the water, the higher the specific gravity (everything else being the same).
You had 13 fish in a 55 gallon tank. (!) In my opinion, that was the biggest part of the problem. The wastes from the bioload were the max of what...
Last year, she had a series of skin ailments. The initial cause was "hot spots" under her collar and where her fur was matted -- the skin and hair...
I'm intrigued by this noise issue. I would take another look at the input end of your setup. If you are sucking air bubbles from the overflow, that...
And, here she is after getting shaved! [img]
Sorry. The camera was missing for a couple of days. Here is "Lady" before the haircut. [img]
