    Hey ya'll!! I cleaned my whole p.s. the other day. I always clean the cup about 1x every 2 weeks, but it said to clean the whole thing about once every 3-6 mos(? not sure). I have mirco bubbles again. Is the p.s. having to go thru another break in period?

    Also, I'm getting more coralline and the tank is looking great here's some pics... I guess adding 160+ snails works. They have kept it almost algae free!

    This is perfectly normal with the remora. Any time you shut it off you will get micro bubbles for a few days. Is the clamp around the hose and powerhead on tight?

    Everything is tight. I can see them comming out under the water out from the skimmer. I've noticed the bubbles are a lot smaller today too.

    Amcarrig......only took 6 years to get it like this LOL

    I found the snails, PhosBan, CupriSorb and more frequent water changes is doing the trick!! My hubby even noticed it's not all green anymore.

    Not sure if the GARF grunge helped too, but I'll give it credit....Sure looks a lot healthier latelty!

    Oh yeah, this came with the GARF grunge. I just put it on top the other day and the color is changing and I think the sides are waking up. Ya'll think it looks alive or is it my imagination? click on the pic and then you can zoom in.
