It really isn't that hard to get rid of problems like algae, and water quality problems. It all stems down to one thing, what kind of water you put in your tanks. I believe now after trial and error that if your going to get into this hobby, the first piece of equipment a hobbyist needs to buy is a RO-DI unit. It is the difference of day and night on your water. :happyfish :happyfish and your fish will thank you by living longer

And you'll be able to enjoy a healthier little eco system in your home. What kind of RO-DI unit did you get? I'm looking into purchasing one for my 2 tanks and to help my daughter out with her 55.
Again, great job...what a difference!!!

That is pretty impressive. I wish my lawnmower ate algea, but he prefers pods and oysters. Doesn't he know he is suppost to eat algea.

You can get the Coralife Pure-Flo II RO/DI unit (50 gpd) for only $150 from the doctors. It's the one I'm going to get as soon as I have some extra cash. It's the lowest price I've seen and I can't remember the name, but someone on here uses it and says it does great. Why pay more when you don't need to.
Save the money for more fish/corals.

That was an awsome clean up man! I had the same issue as I trusted someone to feed my fish for 9 days and forgot to measure out the food
. I got home and the tank was literally covered in algae. I couldn't even see in until I opened up the top and checked to see if they were alive. I did a major scrub on the glass and a water change. (took me about 2.5 hours to clean the glass.
) Still have some but not nearly as bad. I just bought a Lettuce Nudi, 2 cleaner shrimp and a decorator crab to add to my hermit crab cleanup crew. They are starting to make an impact as it has only been 3 days now but hey they are doing the job.
Deffinately not an ugly tank anymore, keep up the good job.
:cheer:
