    Green Hair Algae pics for Jwin

    so the pics didn't turn out as well so i couldn't get all of it, but this is just an idea on how its growing, in little blotches all over the tank, and there are also big areas of green slime type algae but it's gha, and i also have a little cyano. I just wish Pokie (my urchin) would eat faster because theres also a lot on the rocks :D

    Oh the fun hasn't even started for you :D Looks like it's about time to invest in a CUC. Also, do you have any powerheads? If there's one thing that's good about GHA (other than getting rid of your nitrates formed during your cycle) is that it really helps aim powerheads. Especially on the rocks. You can aim them to cover whatever area you want just by looking at how the GHA waves in the flow :)

    haha once i have the money money i'll be buying my CUC. I have 2 mj 1200s, which is not enough but i do plan on investing in the vortech mp10 or mp20, i just don't know when that's going to happen though, but right now one is pointed at the top of the tank, and the other is pointed to the front, the GHA is growing on all 4 sides.

    haha i'm tryin. Tonight is his first time experiencing all 4 lights on. He's moved down towards the bottom of the rock, guess he doesn't like the brightness of the lights too much :D
