3.5 months of struggles after going bare bottom, going through red bugs, going through temperature issues, incessant bacteria blooms, issues from the...
I'm having an issue with bacteria. Tank is several years old. Recently removed sand to go bare bottom and then suffered 2 months of milky water....
Well fiddle sticks. This mucus and stringy bacteria are now taking hold. UV doesn't seem to effect it since it's not free floating. Guess it's...
Very nice. Question: are some of those green stylo coral green birdsnest?
Tank has remained clear and is much healthier now; much. Everything is happy and coloring up. However, I still have a stringy bacteria showing up...
Lol. I will offer one piece of advice: start slowly, not many changes at once. I aggressively addressed my algae with GFO, high output lighting over...
Yikes. That's hideous. This is the first I've heard of them. Does Sentinel work on them like it does Redbugs?
I'm whisky dosing, myself. I see, you meant your tank.
They will go away on their own. The snails won't live. If you don't like the sight, ditch the nerites.
Could your probe need calibrating? Honestly, 7.9-8.1 us pretty typical. 8.4 seems a bit unusual.

The portion in the tank? No it has a couple inches of water. at all times. I've tried getting the bubble out, but it just comes right back. return...
Your numbers will be lower, but still inline. Since you bought RC too, maybe find someone local to send the IO to?
Right, but with a 4 foot head and two 90s, don't you think flow is closer to the rating of the overflow? Let's even say it's 75% it's rating at 315...
It's had an air gap in it for a year and a half. Power has failed a bunch, but it never loses siphion. Everytime I suck the air out, the bubble just...
I have a 420 gph pump and a 300 gph overflow box (eshopps-300). There is about a 4' head with 2 90-degree elbows. My flow is so slow, my u-tube is...
Shiner Bock is a good choice! Get yourself a pack. BTW, I noticed a nasty slime coat on my sock filter today. I'm guessing that is part of the...
I was going to suggest a 400 watt halide.
BTW, that skimmer cup was rank. It pulled out some black nastiness.
