I've been thinking about doing something along those lines. So if I just keep them in a trash can with a power head that's all I have to do? Would I have to change the water at any point? What about the sand? I'm guessing I could do the same?

I recently purchased a new aquarium with original intentions of transferring everything over "live". Unfortunately, life has gotten in the way. Basically I'm in the middle of moving. I have to shut down my old tank, but won't have the new one up and running for at least a few weeks. So...

If my water source had silicates would they be removed by my rodi unit? Thanks for the help. Ill see what I can figure out

I think my flow is good. 2 koralia 750s and mag 7 return. For a 75 gallon tank It only appears on the sand in front of the rocks. I never see it in the back or under the rocks which I assume is because there's limited light there.

So when you say hair Algae I'm assuming that is a class of algae? And diatom is one type of hair algae? Because that is diatom algae im dealing with correct?

I have a 75 gallon fowlr which has been up and running for over a year. I've had problems with diatom algae for a long time. There was a couple months where my daylight lamp broke and I was only using blue/red lighting. During that period there was no algae. A couple weeks ago I got a new...

It just surprised me is all. I really never had any hitchhikers with my liverock. Hard to believe it took 16 months for him and I to run I to each other. I've got an octopus in that tank so you made me a bit nervous about the water parameters. But everything checked out alright. So who...

YouTube That's better. You have to watch in 1080p or at least 720 to make anything out. He's definitely moving. You can see a glow run access his body

He's long gone now lol. First time I've seen him in 16 months Did you watch the YouTube video? That link gives a lower resolution version for some reason. But if you watch it from the YouTube site directly it's 1080p. You can see it pretty well on there

wow there is zero interest in this question apparently. Can anyone out there tell me what I've got here?

Earth to aquarium advice. Anyone there?

Posted in the ID forum with no luck. Came home to find this guy on my glass. No idea what it was but definitely didnt think it was alive. Then i noticed it was crawling with this very cool glow along its body. Sort of like a jellyfish. . So what the heck is it?

Water is RO/DI. I don't know if there are silicates in my sand bed?? It's aragonite sand and I stir/vacuum it often.

Im dealing with what I think is diatom algae. It's brown and covers the rocks and sometimes the sand. It brushes off very easily. What's weird is that every morning it's gone. With the lights off all night it goes away but within a couple hours of turning the lights on it comes back. I'm...
