Just a thought, before I got an ro/di system for my house I used those water purifiers out in front of the stores. Like Glacier or something. According to the info, they go through 6 stages of clarifications, sediment, carbon, ro, di, carbon and uv sterilization. It was only $0.25 per gallon.

I guess I'll take it out and take it to the LFS.

Cool. This guy stays put. He never moves around. I even detached him from one rock an threw him back in this rock and he stuck. But that's when I noticed he was close to my ric.

DO they sting other tankmates? I moved my tank around and he's close to a ricordia mushroom of mine and I don't want it to hurt the 'schroom. Thanks

Nice

I have one of those SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS in my tank.

Wow, what a deal. Here in Denver they are at least $50 to $60 for a small one...2"

Bubble algae spreads as the bubbles pop. You can control it by either pulling them off the rocks by hand gently or sucking them out with the tube you do the water changes with. Eventually, they'll go away. I thought Emeralds only ate the tiny bubbles when they first start out.

In my 29 I don't have much luck with more that about 5 snails. A couple of turbos, 2 or 3 cerith and an nassarius or 2. If I get more, they die off. 3 emeralds is too many unless you feed them by hand regularly. Cyano is usually caused by having dead spots and it's a bacterial algea. You can...

Frogspawns are easie IMO. Moderate flow and light. Good feedings. They are great tank additions because they flow around.

wow, those are awesome.

I test. It's always been right on. I think I still do it because my 5 year old likes to see it change from pink to blue color. LOL

Hey Perfect, whatch out for that red hairy (wirey) algae on that one rock. I have it. It's good, but if you don't have crabs to keep it in check, it'll take over your tank! Still looks good though.

My set up: 2 x 65W power Compacts, 1 10,000K and 1 True Actinic from Hello Lights ran 8 hours a day (soon to add LEDs for moonlight as soon as I build my hood.) 1 Maxi Jet 600 with Hydor flow director (that's new) 1 Aqua...something... 600 that directs flow from left to right 1 Red Sea Prizm...
