I have a 150 fo that has cyanobacteria and I can't get rid of it!!! I've had it before and i removed the phosphate and used red slime remover and it went away. I since have bought a r/o unit and now it's come back. I've used polyfilters to remove the phosphate that i think might be in the...

Once a month

I have a lunare wrasse and he has done the same this to me several times. He also splashes the top of the water at me too! This fish has become quite a pain the @#$. I really like it but it keeps biting the smaller fish in my tank. I've got rid of three clownfish,hippo tang, and now I either...

I did just change the lighting-but i had some of the cyanobacteria already and its been about the same since i put the new bulbs in. I also use nothing but r/o water(which really makes me unhappy because thats the reason i bought the r/o unit in the first place(so i don't get cyanobacteria!!!)

I have a 150 fo that has cyanobacteria that is driving me crazy. I've had it before and got rid of it pretty easy but this time i just can't get rid of it. Theres not a lot but enough that it looks like crap. I even use r/o water-which i thought would get rid of this problem! I've put...

Red slime remover is a great product and has worked great for me before. This time i used it and didn't get any results-i've heard other people say that too. The reason it didn't work for me is because i had a build up of something in my water that had to first be removed. I used 2 polyfilters...

The 10,000k lights are the white super daylight ones the 50/50 are half blue and half white. If you want totally blue thats the blue actnic.

I have 2 coralife 10,000k 36" 30w, and i have 2 coralife 50/50. Are these lights alright? I am tired of cyanobacteria and need to figure this out! I use r/o water,uv sterilzer and a protein skimmer. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Thanks-kevin

I have a 150 fo with a lunare wrasse and hippo tang that are beating the crap out of each other. The lunare wrasse has wounds and punctures all over it from the hippo and the hippo's fins are all shredded from the wrasse biting him! They were together for months with no problem. The hippo is...

The stuff on their fins ins't ich its some other kind of deficiency the fish has. Mine gets thats too and it does come and go and mine is really healthy. I've never seen HLLE so i don't even know what it looks like but I feed my emperor different kinds of food-Angel formula 2 flakes and...

The only thing I would be worried about with a hippo tang is they get sick easily. If they get sick than your emperor can get sick. You definitely need a QT if you have a hippo tang. I have a 150FO with a naso,yellow and hippo tang with a potters angel,emperor angel, and koran angel. None of...

I bought a juvi-Emperor at my LFS for $65.00-thats a good price at a LFS. I've seen them at other *** stores for $140-200!

I support my LFS too, I've spent $7,000.00 in one year!!!!!! I've had my tank now for 1 year and 2 weeks.

Mr. Salty, Well i have it installed and all is well-thanks for your input. This UV is really easy to deal with-I like it. That wiper is pretty cool too, and the fact that the bulb is supposed to last 14 months! With this and my new Kent R* O unit my tank should be in good shape. Mr.Salty you...

Mr.Salty, thanks for the input. What does this part look like? I need to hook my return hose to it-so, is it just a part that screws into the uv and has an end that my return hose fits over? Also, it said something about glueing the o-ring on(whats this?). Thanks Salty!

I just got my Aqua UV but i need the parts that screw into the unit. What exactly am i looking for? Do i get it from a *** store or a hardware store? Pretty lame that this doesn't come with it! Any help would be appreciated i'm going to go tomorrow to get it! thanks, Kevin

So, you guys all use just cold water only. Doesn't it come out horribly slow? Also, has anyone tested the water for nitrates or phosphates? It said in the instructions it most likely would give you a false reading!? That kind of stinks! Thanks for all the input guys!

What temperature water do you guys use? When I ran all cold hardly any water came out of the blue tube(the filtered water), but when i turned on the hot water(not hot but just to make the cold less cold) it came out much quicker. What I really want to know is how everyone uses the unit(what you...

Jimi, what about keeping the filters damp?

I just got a kent r* o unit Maxxima Hi-s 60gpd. It says to run the unit for 10 hours but that you can still use the filtered water-has anyone done this and used the water. The info. that came with it also said to keep the filters wet all the time-i know some of you have this unit and was...
