Tank looks good Seth. Looks like your battle with cyno is over?

I don't know what you mean? Link? Book? I'm confused.
Sorry, my mind is completely bonkers right now.... between chemistry, microbiology and all these stupid phylogenies, I can't even remember my own name.
I knew you were battling cyno, and I stumbled across an interesting thread over on RC about the issue and thought it might interest you in some of the findings.......

 

[snakeblitz33]

Yeah, sure. Send me the link when you get the chance. Ill read it.

PM sent......Cyno scrubber experiment.....A lot more info in this thread than I've seen posted on the boards here ever......

What are they doing smearing cyano on their scrubber screens now?

 

[acrylic51]

I'll shoot you the PM Corey......

Me too please...

Could be a worth while little trick to try if one is battling that issue. It's cheap and simple enough. Same concept as macro in a fuge or a turf scrubber.

PM sent Sweatervest.....Corey I thought it was interesting.....

 

[kiefers]

[gemmy]

[acrylic51]

You got mail!!!!!

 

[snakeblitz33]

Well, my phosphate reactor started leaking a little bit. I turned the pump off for the time being until i can get a better look at it.
Tank is looking pretty good.

 

[acrylic51]

What reactor are you running Seth.....

 

[snakeblitz33]

I was running a two little fishies phosphate reactor. Now im not. My tank is runnin on straight macroalgae right now.
Still have plans in the works for a new acrylic sump this summer as well as a photon 32 led unit.

 

[acrylic51]

Don't they have an o ring?

 

[snakeblitz33]

Yup. I have to figure out what is going on with it. But so far i dont need it.

 

[acrylic51]

Possibly you pinched the o ring?

 

[snakeblitz33]

Not sure. I think a snail or something was crawling into the output pipe which may have caused some backpressure causing the oring to fail. Not sure though. Ill have to inspect it when i need it again

Small update...
I bought a polarizing lens for my camera so that I can take better outdoor pics. Well, I decided to experiment with it and take some pics of the tank. I think you can really tell a major difference in the quality. There is no longer a huge blue hue to the tank caused by the actinics.
