    Green hair algae

    I have been getting some green hair algae growing on some live rock. Today I took a tooth brush and cleaned off all I saw in hopes it all went into the skimmer. I know I have had very slight phosphate problem and have replaced the phosphate sponge and have done 25% water change. Other than...

    red algae solution?

    Red Slime algae is really bacteria (cyanobacteria). This is not caused by phosphates. The natural way of ridding the tank of this is to first skim off as much as you can. Then do a 50% water change. Several smaller water changes will not work. You will never get the bacteria down low enough to...

    Cutting Mushrooms , how do I do it???

    Yes glue... the gel super glue is excellent to attatch frags..better than the stuff you get at pet store. As for mushrooms I usually stick them down in a small crack somewhere. When you move them they shrink up and you can push them in a small hole or crack. In a day or two they are attatched...
