I do 20% water change every other week and I've been using the light since I set up the tank. The hair algae comes and goes, but it's especially fierce now. I'll figure it out somehow.

-tank is prob. 6 mos. old -feed once a day, they usually eat it all -one powerhead on the opposite side of the tank from the filter -I don't have a test kit yet -lights are on prob. 10 hrs./day How often should I be cleaning my tank???

I forgot to say what kind of algae...oops! Mostly hair algae on my LR, some brownish stuff on the sand where the critters don't stir up the sand. I would like to have some more soft corals, that's why I got the light. I have one smallish colony of zoos, but even with the light I have they are...

I have an Aqua Medic 250 metal halide over my 29 gallon tank. I don't think it's too much light, but I don't know. It seems to make algae grow pretty quickly though. Do I need more inverts to eat the algae or will less lighting be the only way to get rid of my algae problems? I got this light...

Holy poop! Those r nice.

It is pretty crazy to think he did all those tricks on slow, heavy, ill-balanced Harleys. Even though he lived around here for many years I've never seen him in person. My dad used to sell Evel performance car parts, and told me he was an arse-hole. I don't know...never met him.

You weren't playing Depeche Mode were you? That would make me commit suicide by anenome.

I didn't see a place for noobies to introduce themselves (non fish related), so I figured this would be the place to do it. So anyway, hey, I'm from central Fla., I'm hooked on Food Network, I have 3 orphaned furry animals which I've either busted out of jail or taken off the streets, MS Paint...

When I was 8, my mom got me a "birds and the bees" book. Needless to say I was mortified.
