Yeah the fish do to they've each claimed a house lol

Yes that's what I figured :) suddenly it's not so unsightly lol

Ok here's another question tank is clear , fish are perfect for the last two weeks I'm about 4 nitrates my tank is well stocked , is the brown algae keeping the nitrates in check ?

Got some new landscape stuff and took out all the little sponge on figures and fake plants way to hard to keep clean my Africans love the new design lots of hiding places and tunnels to swim through :)

Thanks guys !!! It is unsightly but the waters crystal clear

Fish are doing great except for some brown algae I can't get rid of

Ok my cichlid tank has been set up now since march 1 , fishless cycled everything is beautiful water crystal clear parameters perfect , still having brown algae issue on everything what's the best way to defeat it ?

Tank doing great !!! Order came in from live fish direct !! Great packaging , great looking fish !

3 days so far and still the same tonight rest of my stock coming in tomorrow from live fish direct !

Ok woke this morning to a healthy happy tank 2nd day with fish , 3rd day with 0 ammonia 0 nitrite and roughly 6 ppm nitrate , the rest of my stock coming from fish direct tomorrow ...... So glad I fishless cycled !

Night night new fish let's see how you do your first night in your new home :)

All seem to be doing great ammonia and nitrite haven't moved from zero and nitrate steady at 10 ppm looking to stock the rest when order comes in from fish direct :)

No didn't have any did use some fritzyme 700 at start i don't really know if it actually helped it along all in all it was still roughly 5 weeks

It was at 160 ppm before water change

I saw the spike 2 days ago when it was 10 ppm , look back on the thread :) , everything went to 0 around 10 with nitrates at 10 , just put a few fish in taking my chances :) seems to be going good so far
