Awesome- thanks :D

I read a post that showed someone who drilled holes instead of a slotted pipe and stitched a plastic piece to the screen to help with algae growth on the slot (waterfall ats)- TIA!

I'll give the seran wrap a shot, though I may build another box. From the pics of the algae growth, would you say to place he lights 3-4" away from the screen?

I've seen some pics of burned...

I do think I need to get this scrubber dialed in. I understand carbon dosing will inhibit the growth until it can fully sustain itself. I will carbon dose to keep things in check and wait for...

I just restarted the dosing. I'm noticing algae on the rocks and glass than when I was carbon dosing. I feel as though my ats isn't processing enough nutrients, since the cyano and algae is...

6 weeks ago started first ats (too large, 13.5" x 23" with 96 watts)

2 weeks ago changed from large screen to current size (reused the same screen)

both same system and setup, I just cut the...

That is a stunning tank my man!
thank you!

Is the cyano everywhere, or just patchy?
various spots, both high and low flow areas, both high and low light areas

How long have you been battling...

Thank you!.... I'm pulling my hair on on the cyano... I'm so tempted to add some chemi clean, but I'd hate to crash the tank

As for your DT algae, have you measured N and P? What test kits do you use for these?
Hanna Phosphorus- 0 (I believe cyano uptake is causing it to read 0
0 No3- Salifert

How long has the tank...

I'm not getting much growth on my screen. I recently changed the screen size from original sizing to the "per feeding size". The growth is very light green, even coloration all throughout. flow is...

What if the silversides are de-boned? I do that for my triggers

Let's all play a game of "guess the new design" ;)

So I went from a 13.5"W x 23"L with (4) 23W CFL to a 13.5"W x 9"L (2" is under water, so effectively a 13.5" x 7" scrubber lit by the same 4 23w cfls. I built the box outside the sump and used a...

if I get yellow, back off the hours then?

I have a working scrubber thats doing well, but way oversized for my bulbs (96 watts (4x23 CFL) on a 13.5"x23" screen). It is enclosed in a acrylic box and am in the process of changing the size to...

got it.... can't wait :)

I can't seem to find anything out on the "new" design thats SM is putting out there. I thought release was April? Thanks guyes

Ace- can you explain the difference between DOCS and P04 issue? Are you saying that DOCS will have more nitrate/phostphate combo, rather than high phosphates with low nitrates? I believe I am...
