damn dennis its been awhile since i have been here but once again you tank looks good...

tank looks good dennis...i wish they had a liquor store like here in cape coral..lol

looks good blue.what kind of fish is that? a tang i am guessing

but i thought they should last for 30 days? but as you know i am fighting the algae battle like you are...

okay it was the phoshate bags where sucked to the bottom and they are only 2 weeks old and one of them is really green?

it is external but before it goes to the tank i have a ocean clear cannister that i put my carbon and phosphate bags in. i was thinking that maybe the bags could be the problem but i have always put them in there.so cleaning it means pulling the front housing off and clean the impeller right?

i just notice that the return line that goes back to the tank..the water is real slow coming out of the 2 pipes? its a little giant pump i used to have more water flow than it is know any suggestions?

lol..i would be in the dog house then..thanks for all the help everybody

okay i am back from the lfs. they did a water test and my ph was really low. so they have me reef buffer and kalk + 2. so i have to wait 1 hour then start dripping the kalk in. i found that i had 1 dead snail so far.and i do think that i should get 2-3 more korilas #4 's. i really appreciate all...

Thanks Tristan. I know it will work out!! I love all my fish. Flats Wife

Great article. Thanks! I know that my husband uses Carbon but I'm not sure we are changing it as often or using as much as this article states. I will tell him to read this. Thanks again. Flats Wife

He did remove them all at once. The LFS never mentioned what you just did. Once again - we have learned a very valuable lesson. Never take the LFS on it's word-we need to research. We say this everytime we get advice from the LFS. I never thought in a million years that a Saltwater tank...
