i dont know what advice im looking for neither. The feeders where treated in the QT before i added them to the tank. I used them to boost the No3 and the No2, i had planned on removing them as i stcok the tank. It seems that using ferts. is the best way to go. I think im need advice on making...

thank alot guys. Im cleaning the bulk rock off right now. I soaked them in a strong bleach soultion for an hour or two. Then i scrubed them clean, rinsied well now they are soaking in a bucket of water that i treated with aqua plus ( 2 Capfulls) i hope that kills off the alge that was on the...

i like the idea of a h2o2 dip seems a lot safer than bleach. i understand your point regardeing the Co2 system. But it is not in my buget right now. I got the Pcs for 25$ the man that sold them to me said they where broke. Al i did was replace the fittings and buy new bulbs. I have the 2 40watt...

I was hoping to stay away from Co2 and high light. from what i have read a diy Co2 unit will not work well on a 55 gal and i can not afford a pressureized unit. I was running two 40watts over the tank for a bit and it seemed to do well untill i added the PC lamps. thats when the algae strted to...
