If you think...... take a drink If taste fine...... fish won't mind When in doubt...... pour it out Sorry, I couldnt help myself

You can have both. If you mix them togeather the CC will come to the top. (not good idea). You can use LR or other obsticles to partition off an area for a sand bed, but the critters will move the CC & sand around too. Remember to vavume the CC if you have much of it. I have two 55's that are...

Originally posted by <">< I had green hair algae and now where that was it seem to be brown almost fuzzy stuff. Is this a whole other algae or is this just the dead green hair algae?? I would venture a gess that it's a different species. Better than too much hair algae :D

Hermits, Enerald, A LMB, various shrimp, Brittle & Serpant stars, many snails(variety) Something different in each tank I gess. 12 tanks at the moment.

It will just slowly die back until it ain't no more. You could try cutting back a bit on the length of time that the lights are on. That will slow the growth pretty good.

Oops.... Forgot to mention that the better the water circulation... the less cyano will grow.:yes:

If you are concerned about the cyano, it can be removed to a degree by lightly scrubbing it off (remove the rock from tank). Some type of Coralline will eventually take over (may be a while though)....I have both in my tanks. The green hairy stuff won't hurt anything. Just dont let it take over...

The Coral Banded Shrimp can be a whole different story. They seem to be agressive towards others.sometimes. :nervous: "King of the Hill" one could say......

I would venture a gess that your water conditions got better so that the green algae took over and eliminated the Cyano. :joy:

Cyano (red slime)......Bad stuff

Coralline Algae.....Good Stuff

Thanks Bang Guy, I saw 1 adult male that lookes like he was protecting them, while 1 female pawing at the top of the water tryinh to collect them (or eat them) I only see the babies at night when they collect at the surface under a light. (massed in some floating Caulerpa. This should be fun...

I would leave them in. I doubt if very much chemical got into the water. What did will also be absorbed by the LR. Charcoal will absorbe the chemicals (if any) from the Windex. If you don't have a filter that can hold charcoal, imprivise. A plastic bottle with small holes in the bottem, filled...

IMO Don't do that again....Windex I mean... Use Vinegar/water solution for cleaning the glass If you don't want to start over (I wouldn't), Get some heavy-duty charcoal filtration going. Then hope for the best......

For what its worth, at least 5 cents....ya think? I couldn't find any of the sands that everyone recomends I went to the lumber store and got 200 lbs of sandblasting sand. That would be like 99% silica. Nice white pure sand. No problems what-so-ever with it.

I have a tank with mushrooms, anemone, coral, plants/algae, and 1.2 billion pods. There are 5 peppermint shrimp...no fish, 3-4 BL hermits, snails Pumps are shut off.....using air for water movement now A hundred or so 2 day old baby shrimp swimming around Question.... will the adult shrimp eat...

Need more info: 1. Size ( an example...pin head. pea size. 1/8th inch) 2. Are they crawling on rock or free swiming 2.Color Discribe.

Not sure, but it may be a Pyramidellid species. Do you have any clams in your tank? Tagg
