    Slimy green algae taking over

    I am feeding freeze dried mysis and some tropical flakes with garlic. I only have 3 fish and my bulbs are only about 2 months old. My lights are sitting on the tank, above the lids. I am going to build a canopy to suspend the light pretty soon. I am trying to do a water change once a week but...

    Slimy green algae taking over

    This slimy green mess is taking over my tank and is covering rocks and sand. In a few places it is long and stringy and "billows" in the water column. what can be done with this stuff?

    My Wrasse has disappeared!

    I havent seen my six line in 3 days. Is this normal for them, to hide in the rocks for days at a time? He cant jump out and he was fine when I last saw him. I hope its alright because I cant see him anywhere.

    Mega Powerful Nitrate and Phosphate Remover - DIY!

    I just cant seem to get any good growth on my screen. The setup is correct but I am getting slimy light brown to yellow stuff with a little green on the lower 1/3rd. Anyone have some thoughts?

    My new fishes

    I finally got a couple of pics of my new additions. I had added a six-line Wrasse last Friday and today got a Sleeper Green Banded Goby. That goby is fun to watch as he goes about sifting through the sand.

    Info on an RO system

    Does anyone know anything about the Omipure CL10RO-T33? I bought this system off of ebay and it is supposed to be a 4 stage reverse osmosis system.

    Stumbled on this over at Advanced Aquarist

    A monitor sounds nice but personally I would have to lean toward a means of controlling my tank. Most controllers have graphing options, and you can find some with email and iphone alerts as well as wireless capabilities. The cost may be higher but having my system controlled rather than just...
