water won't clean much, use something like credit card to scrape it off, just leave a few spots of the green or red (I envy those that does have red turf algae) for it to grow back.

dan, 6 months?!?!?! wow, okay that makes me feel better, now that I have a time line I can follow. After seeing everyone else seeing less algae in about 3 weeks, I thought I was WAY off course on...
As far as the glass goes, it takes about a week to see a film of diatom, no hair algae tho.
My ATS have been up and running since 28 Dec. 2008, drop N and P to 0 in water column after 51 days later. So since 20 Feb. 09 I have been happy with the water testing results. Okay here is the...
What I am guessing the cause of that line of algae growth might be from the pipe. Since the lights are mounted so high, can the pipe be actually acting as a light shield? I mean that is the only...
yes please update us on your progress, we all would like to see your success story here.
It seems like many of us no longer do any water changes, I was just wondering if you guys dose anything. I finally gathered enough $$ to get my self a 4ch reefdoser, and set it up to dose cal and...
yeah, tags like nuisance algae cure/fix, hair algae cure, and the title that SM used to get my attention " Mega Powerful Nitrate and Phosphate Remover" :D
Eductor will increase flow only if it's underwater. But our screen is the waterfall style, meaning it's above water. There for would render the eductor useless. Unless you want to draw some air...
LOL d5omino, you and I had the same idea in regards to buy a small sheet from Inland to seed a larger screen, if you look back on my posts, I have done exactly the same thing. Expecting the larger...
awesome, was beginning to worry something is wrong. thx guys
Just wondering if anyone experienced increase in HA growth and Canyo growth. My tank have finally drop NO3 and PO4 to 0 :) for like a week or so. But during this week, I gained more HA and Canyo in...
YEAH!! Tested this morning coz i was bored, got a 0 NO3 reading, had to double, and triple the test to confirm that I wasn't dreaming/sleep walking/imagining thing. Like that presentation says, this...
Oh, took a while to understand that question. Haha. Coz i got rid off the overflow box. Drilled my self 2 1" holes. now with the box gone, i just found my self lots of room in my tank. Anyways,...
Another question, at what point can I expect to see some Coraline Algae growth?
Well, here is an update after 50 days from install.

That was quick response. :) Well, i am going to start experimenting on seeing how well it works with QT/HT tanks. It will be awsome if it works on those tanks, especially on HT, since we won't have...
To SM or anyone that can pitch in. What SG level will kill the algae or it will live without a problem. EX. Hypo treatment of SG at 1.010, say with Formalin III and or CopperSafe. Will the...
1" pipe will give 600g/h pressureized and straight down. on your design, with all those bends, and gravity feed, it should get about 200 or so, give or take some. 1.5" at full will handle 1000 g/h,...
My self use Photobucket.com to host the photos, coz i haven't figure out how to attach files too :)
I am new to the hobby, and have seen MANY people talking about crash, what is it? I have read much, just can't seem to get the concept of systems crashing? I mean, if you got a balance system, and...
Adding another pump is good idea, but instead of the pump in that bucket, try to make a reverse Carlson surge device. By using rcsd, you don't need a timer or another pump to mark up you electric...

Front side with the seed from IA

Back side started blank....
I can not get the front light any more closer, so I got a bigger light instead, its a 42w @ 2700k. The light in the back is still the 23w@2700k.
Total cost of setup is about $25.
10 for the 42w...
I read the 24/7 for fresh start on SM's original post on RC, and was wondering if it would be same for seeded mesh from Inland Aquatics.
But I got mine setup for 16 on 8 off for now.
Pics of my...
well, I couldn't find any 33w lamps at my HD here, so I got a 42w instead. :) Like SM said, big = faster, right? ^^
From what I read, keep lights on 24/7 at the beginging, does that apply to with...
thank SM,
33w at 2700k? or should i go for something higher? like 6500k?
Thanks worley,
I stop by Inland Acquatics last week and picked up a mesh last week, just installed it yesterday. i only got 1 23w 27000k CFL lighting on 1 side at the moment. Not sure about the...
Hey guys,
Just wondering, how long does it take to see some effects on reducing N and P with the scrubber? With seeding purchased from inland aquatics. Thanks much.
