    your off to a great start puffer chick. I recommend testing your phosphates and if their detectable, to invest in a phosphate reactor.

    Good job

    no phosphate test kit yet. But i do have some nitrates still. Still a new tank, so at least the gha will go away overtime, just looks ugly

    I thought the gha would go away too.. so i waited. and waited. and waited. and cleaned. and cleaned. and cleaned. and it still kept coming back. Unless you figure out where its coming from and stop the main source, in my opinion it wont go away over time, it will get worse and spread :-/ Just trying to prepare you and give you some advice from my experiences.

    good luck,
    ryan

    He's up higher on the glass now. I'm sure he's in love with his home because of all the food that's in there
