So my tank was in need of some serious mantiance. Been working on it. But have this on my LR and it's a pain. I'm thinking about just pulling a rock out and rinsing it off with water in sink then putting right back in. I'm sure that's a bad idea tho so someone tell me it is before I do it...

So on this. Since it's been awhile. It turned into an almost carpet like algae. Was cleaning it out earlier off the sand bed and it comes up in patches. But it's on my live rock too. Any tips on how to get it off

Yep using RO water. Something I think that affects it may be getting from 2-3 different machines. Might have to start sticking with one.

I think so after researchin more. I don't have a skimmer or the cash for one now. Is there another way to control it. Like more snails? I noticed my shrimp was eating it last night.

Nope nothing new added in awhile besides some fish a couple weeks ago. One of which I think got sucked into my power head last night

Anyone?

Nope. Been up for awhile.

Is this green algae? And what's a good way to get rid of it?

Got It fixed. Just had to adjust the valves in the box so more water got taken down to the sump. As for evap that sounds bout right. I have to top off at least every 3 days.

It shouldn't. When I take water from tank and pour it into sump bubbles go away for a min or so then start back up.

So been in the process of fixing my aquarium (amonnia spike and green hair algae) but today my sump return started blowing air bubbles like its low. Tank description. 55g tank with sump under it. Box hanging over back to draw water down to sump with a water return hanging over it also. Tank...

Oh and on another note as I was cleaning the crap out of the tank today I decided to completely remove my seaclone skimmer being as it has not collected anything but green algae on the water return since I got it. Is a skimmer a must have?

And ok jus tested fianlly. Results are as follows. PH 7.8 or 8.0. Me and wife disagree lol. Ammonia- 0 Nitrite- 0 Nitrate between 0 and 5 ( which I think it's dropped a lot since last test. Should I try fish again?

Man oh man glad I didn't goto beach today. Sitting here watching TV And wife was like you smell smoothing burning. Water had gotten onto power strip and shorted it out. Was melting to the wood

Oh also or was a total of 5 fish. 2 of which I have found no body of.
