    That's hair algae it is the algae I was talking about before when I said you may get this. A clean up crew with snails should take care of it, if there's is a lot you may have to scrub it off with a toothbrush. I feel a little vindicated now yeah woo hoo.

    I use a program called Dragon dictate it does a good job but not perfect. You see I need to use it because I lost all the use of my hands. This program will sometimes break words up if I pause.

    There are different stages to the cycle process, the nitrogen cycle is just one step in the cycle you're doing a soft cycle which consists of doing frequent water changes to get your ammonia down this is not an easy way of cycling but once see some Nitrate in your tank and no ammonia and no...

    How the nitrogen cycle works: The nitrification cycle is actually pretty simple. It can seem hard because of a couple terms that are not familiar in our everyday language. But basically this is a simple three-step process. The best way starting in nitrogen cycle is not to use the fish you can...

    Rock arrived gross :(

    I hate when people say this is my opinion but I will say it anyhow. This is my opinion Taking rocks out of someone else's tank is suicide to yours. All the problems they had are in those rocks if they had a phosphorus problem it in those rocks if they put copper in the tank it in those rocks if...

    I feel kind of stupid..

    Answering a question about what the best sump pump is. Well that's hard to answer what I look for is a pump that is silent and as efficient as I can get. Efficiency can be measured by how many watts it consumes . Another big thing people don't remember is that the efficiency of pump or how much...

    I have outlined some tricks and help for people starting a new saltwater reef tank.

    You're right the protein skimmers and those units are just sufficient they will not over skim your tank. They do make wet dry filters with a place to put a aftermarket protein skimmer I agree something like that would be a better solution is. On my wet dry I made a small alteration to the...

    I need an RO system but I dont have the money. Saw this online, it connects to your tap and purifies the water, would this be enough?

    There are some R/O filters out there that cost less then 100$ that works great look at the big online auction website. That's what I use it good for about 5000 gallons than they have to be replaced mine does 55 gallons a day. 5000 gallons should last pretty long time
