Re: Culturing hair algae: ATTN RcPilot

Oh god, you think that's bad? You should see my nano!! Given that it's been setup for nearly a year now, with NO ANIMALS EVER ADDED TO IT, it has, literally, become an algae farm. The tank nearly overflowed a couple days ago, because algae had blocked the slots for water to flow in the back compartment to get to the return pump!!

Just remember to strain out all the pods before you drink it.They tend to tickle going down.
