I got a lot more of the clear slime you see in the picture from last week with cyano in it.

[Greenchaos]

Yuk. I can see why you are concerned. These bubbly things do work though, don't they? If not, I'll try one of Floyds waterfall scrubbers.

[nizz]

I am sure it works. Ever aquarium is different. So I am sure it's just my system and all the crap I had in it.

[SantaMonica]

The "clear" is over-lit algae. Clean with a toothbrush and change to 18 hours.

We'll it looks like I am started to grow algae in the scrubber and the tank seems to be doing better.

!!!

This is what I have so far from both the scrubbers. I ran chem clean to get rid of the cyano I had in the tank and surprising enough it help clear the clear and red slime in my scrubbers.

[SantaMonica]

Yes the chemi will do that; it does however put those nutrients back into the water.

If you are still running 22 hours, just keep it up and let's watch it develop.

Actually I am running 18/4 from the last recommendation. So far that light schedule seems to work. Don't know if I should go back to 22/2 schedule with the red slime out of the scrubber now.
