    Alright, I'm kinda upset now! Since I boosted the DKH the algae seems to be dying off pretty quickly. It died off when I had the lights on even, and now that I cut the lights it is rapidly dying. I'm upset because I'm gonna be ticked if all I had to do was boost my dkh to help win the algae battle!! It will stay no lower then 12 from now on. I got it up to 13.1, then a couple days later it was down to 11.3. Then I got it back up to the 14 range and tomorrow will boost it again depending on how much it has dropped off. I am hoping to get to the 15 range.

    I am hoping this will get me "over the hump" on the algae battle. I really don't want to try the Algea X, I have never used an additive and don't really want to, but I will as a last resort. Not to mention it would save me $100:)

    Hopefully that new lawnmower blenny will eat the stuff. He's picking at everything in my qt tank.

    I will be posting pics here soon... I now can say I am winning the algae battle but it's not gone yet. Things started kicking @$$ at work and I have been trying to balance the tank and life... no Algea X in the tank (if anyone wants to buy a bottle!) Noticed the lawnmower is getting skinny but he has plenty of natural food so I am still going to hold off on him. Haven't been on in a while but that is the update for now!

    It doesn't matter. If you need it it's yours, but if I try to get rid of it you will have first offer! I never opened it. I'll keep it around unless you need it...
