    Newbie algae query

    There seems to be a lot of beating up on a person whose opinion doesn't EXACTLY agree with someone else's, so at great personal risk (I have a fragile ego), I would say that I agree with just about everything that JRein says. I don't think you need to break down the whole tank as suggested and...

    Cycling Help/?

    I agree with jwtrojan44, I wouldn't do a water change yet. You will prolong your cycle.

    shrimp or not

    Did the lr come from lfs or from online? If from lfs, probably not much die-off (if only out of water for an hour or so). May take longer than you want to cycle. I would add a piece of shrimp to speed up the cycle.

    Hang-on Filter and Skimmer

    I use the emperor 400 on my 75 and have no complaints. You can find it on line for about 1/2 of what it will cost at the lfs.

    Help! My tank crashed

    Originally posted by beaslbob Sorry to hear about your loss, and yes it has happened to me when I was first setting up my new tank. The best thing to do is to allow the tank to cycle again. If you have no more fish, it should take 1-2 weeks (or less) for the nitrItes to return to 0.0. Then...

    I am slowly leaning towards setting up a refugium/sump where I can keep all my stuff (heaters, skimmer, filter, etc). How much light do i really need to keep the culpera (sp) and 2-3 pieces of lr happy?

    Cloudy Water

    Yes it is normal and it can take a few days to clear up. What kind of sand did you use?

    Is this tank overpriced?

    I would find out what the price of the tank is withOUT the hood. Chances are good that you will want better lighting anyway.

    Originally posted by laudluvr How many people with a 75 wish they went with a 125? LOL I have a 55 and wish I would have gone with a 300. If I didn't have to listen to my wife, I would have. LOL I wish I went with a bigger tank. At the time, the 75 was all I had room for. Now, I have a...

    dead spots

    Is there another sign for having dead spots in the tank besides algae growth? I am running two 300 gph ph's with the flow pointing up (as per the directions that came with the ph).

    my Algea problem

    is getting out of control. Have two problems: 1) Red slime algea. Is there a natural way to get rid of this stuff? I have read about using chemicals but would prefer to find an alternative method. 2) Green algea on glass and sand. Grows quickly and seems to "crust" the surface of the sand. I...
