The tank has been set up about 2 months now. BTW the blackout technique worked great! After 1 day the algee was noticably clearer. After 3 days the tank looked like it never had algee in it. The only bummer is that I can't have the light on much. Kind stinks having a tank if you can't...

Thank you very much! I'll give it a try.

Are they getting enough air? If not stick a tube in to aerate the water some. At least so you can rule that out...

When a tank gets algee and turns so green you can't see in it, how long does it typically take to go away? I've been giving less light, less food to the fish and used algee treatment. 24 Gallon cubical Feed fish two times a day, very small amounts. Fish: Jack Dempsy, Plexa, two catfish, 4...

TTT Anyone?

Well, I have a Nanocube and it has 4 bright lights.... The aglee looks basic green to me. I did also do a water change recently. I found it weird that algee would come on so fast after that. Will the Algee hurt the fish? I have a couple snails (2) and 1 Plexa. Maybe I should get more snails?

Hey all, I was wondering how long is the typical Algee cycle in a freshwater tank? Any recommendations to help control it or do you just let it cycle through on it's own? Thanks

Interesting, I'll have to call and ask that! Thanks.

Thanks again :D I did in fact put fresh carbon in, just to make sure!

Based on the info I did give how come I would think that someone could give me some basic info on what to do? I know there are many factors but I don't think sarcasim would save my fish when I was in need. I appologize for not giving all the info up front but I was in panic mode and needed...

Thanks for the info! I take it there are seperate kits to test Nitrates? Yes the Ammonia was 0. What I ended up doing is taking all the fish out, putting them in a seperate bowl, going to a fish store and buying a small pump, hose and aerator. I put that in the tank for a couple hours, put...

I check the PH and Amonia and they were good, The fish all started acting funny, not eating and such. There was a ton of algee which I tried to treat. So, I decided to do a 50% water change. The only remaining fish alive is my Jack Dempsy. I took him out and put him in a seperate container...

I did a 50% water change yesterday and my fish are gasping for air and swimming to the top to trying to get a gulp of air. What can I do? My flamemouth is about dead already, swimming upside down. 24 gallon nanocube I did a 50% water change yesterday. Thanks

Thank you very much for the info!

Hi all, I'm seeking advice on his take. There are 3 sections in the back of the nanocube. The far left has one huge sponge. 1st question. Is the sponge supposed to be below the intake vents or all the way up to the top? The middle section has a small sponge and a small back of cylinder...
