Okay, so I had a minor cyano outbreak this week. I found the source, which is good. My DI filter had gone south, but I had used the system for my last water change without knowing. That, and the other parameter that has changed in the last couple weeks is I upgraded from a crap 30W fluorescent...

Okay, I would love to have a sand sifting star, but my tank is too small (45g). My sand in my DSB usually looks like crap, and I suspect things aren't getting moved to places in the sand where they can get converted to nitrogen. What are other good options for keeping my sand clean and...

The issue is, I'm new to FW, I've been doing SW for a while. The biggest issue I have with this setup is I don't understand how the filter...

Just found this site a few days ago. All I can say is WOW. I had a FO SW setup for about two years but took it down before I moved a few years ago. Had some catastrophe just prior to that. I wish I had found this site back then. I've learned more here in the last week than I did the entire time...
