haha u got alot more waiting to do! the fun is just beginning!

i got lr from moby's for $5/lb.... but i had got 56lbs from em, so they cut me a small break.. well, at least meijers is good for RO water... haha.. and they have it 24/7! I stopped in a petland around here and they have a 2' x 2' square of salt water stuff... pathetic! Tropicorium had some...

i noticed spaghetti algae is supposed to be comin soon... is it the same thing as chaetomorpha? or is this a different algae??

looks interesting

u can always pull it apart a little and rinse it with your tank water over a sink to rid it of critters.. some of the lil buggers might be bad. I am not sure about how good it does with shipping, so thats why i drove an hour to get some.. you can always check your phone book, or internet...

i wouldnt worry about anything until u finish cycling... it may not be too pleasing to the eye, but either is looking at rock in a tank, lol. once u are done cycling, look into getting a clean up crew.

good stuff! careful with the new carpet.. this hobby can be sloppy sometimes

lol i think my blue legs are takin out the reds too.. they must be racist lol..

well, the best part is, it doesnt need anything to grow on.. might get tangled on the rocks, but thats still easy to pull out... itll grow and grow and grow, and u just keep it trimmed.. im sure the clean up crew will prolly munch on it too... not sure tho.

lol who called it loose algae? if it looked like that, its chaetomorpha.. great for ridding systems of nutrients from what ive read..

that chunk was $10 at a not-so-local-fish-store chaeto is short for Chaetomorpha

its a macroalgae.. heres a pic. uses up the nutrients that other algaes feed on.

lol u say obviously like i know you and your setup.. its a very relivant question....

yea. it looked black before, but once i posted the pic, u can see green in it.. lol i got green hair algae that im tryin to clear up with some chaeto..

what kinda filter u got?? i didnt see much of a rise in ammonia either, but the trites and trates sure went up... then i remembered... i i took the canister away after i remembered that, and no rise in ammonia.. actually kept going down to 0

lol u guessed it jpa good reputation there??

thats why i threw my non-bias-ed reply in there bang... to just let him know to slow down and read.. nothing negative said..

do i need excel??
