Howdy welcome and good to see others from AK.

Ya I really miss the summer there, floating the chena is a blast. We had a couple feet of snow last week but it has all melted. How has the winter been up north?

Hey Bubba good to see some good ol' AK blood on here. I spent a few years in the Banks' going to school. Too cold for me...

Well I went ahead and got one last night. He was pretty shy at first but now he seems to be enjoying himseslf, although he doesnt like my hawkfish very much. He moved right in and kicked the hawk off his rock that he had been perched on since he was put in the tank. hopefully they will start to...

I have heard increasing your magnesium will help with hair algea. Can anyone else go into more detail with the levels it needs to be at and what will help to get rid of hair.

Do they starve if there is not enough hair algea to eat or will they eat normal food too? My hair algea is starting to die off after a long battle so I would hate to buy one if that is all they eat. You can rent one for 15 or buy one for 20. Not sure what I should do.

I was at the LFS and noticed a lawnmower blenny. Does anyone have one or no much about them? I was interested in renting one from the LFS for hair algea control will they hurt other fish?

I have 1" also. It is stuck in the sump about 8 inches too, just wanted a more secure way of attatching it. I think i am going to use some super glue and if that dont work I will drain it and use silicone.

I can use the super glue gel with water in the sump? it will dry?

so you just glued the pipe to the wall of you tank then?

Could I see a pic of yours. How is it attatched to the inside of the sump?

I built my own sump a while back, but I am unhappy with how my hose goes into the sump. It is just sitting in there. I am scared that it might come out one day. What is a better way to connect the hose to the sump. It is a 20g tank. Thanks

Hello, welcome nice additions to the new tank.
