Rinsed and boiled. Thanks Ashley and Todd.

Thanks for all the advice.. but... I skipped a day of feeding, and fed much less the next day (I now think ive been feeding too much), and the water cleared up over night.

Howdy. I bought a large peice of driftwood from Petco today. Do I need to boil it, or is that only for driftwood found in the wild?

Awesome. Thanks for the links and info everyone. :) Think I might pick up the Vortex Diatom Filter D-1 ( http://www.bigalsonline.com/catalog/product.xml?product_id=22065;category_id=2995). Should be good for a 29 gal, right?

Thank you CompMage and gFink. Ill do just that :)

mine went away when i stepped up the WC's. But then again, it could of been my Black Mystery Snails. I was told they dont eat it, but i added them and stepped up WC's at the same time. Though it comes off very easy, you could scrub it all off.

no, i dont beleive they eat brown algae. Ottos will, but if you do regular WC's it will get rid of the brown stuff.

ok, the biggest thing for me as long as its okay for the fish. It was fine for the first few months, i started my tank in august. So should I bother with the large WC, or not? My nitrates are around 25-30.

Recently my water has been green.. turned up a few days ago, and ive done some WC's but no change to the color. Im testing the water now, so ill have results in a few minutes, but wanted to know any ideas why my water is green. I do 40% WC's every 10 days or so. in my tank: 1 flame dwarf...

Just curious. MY flame dwarf gourami has long, stringy white poo, about 3 inches long or so. Heres the info: 1~What type of fish is afflicted? >> White, stringy poo, about 3 inches long. Only my Flame Dwarf Gourami. He feeds and swims about just fine, nothing unusual. 2~What are your tank...

Ok. No to the lobster! Thanks :) And good point Menagerie Very interesting Zezmo... I think I'll defentally try one and see what happens.

Thanks a bunch! :)
