I have been getting virus's from this site since last spring. Something is wrong a professional should look at it since the site admin is not getting it fixed.

Change 5 gallons of water every week or two and that will keep waste down.

Cute Tank!!

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

Sorry for your loss! :( I have lost prized fish myself and you never get over the loss of some of them...

75 gallon tank and I change 25 gallons every two weeks.

Nice hole! One of the better I have seen...

RC and IO salts are crap.

Excellent!

Good job! Lucky does fit very well in this case.

It kept coming back...? I have worked on many tanks with green water that had your regimen in place...very advanced keepers and they turned to UV for help in solving it...

You do not have any exp. with green water, your comments state that!...

A temp. controller like the Ranco will solve the problem.

Trust me from someone that has had Green Water a number of times on both city and well water the only thing that fixes it is a UV Sterilizer. Do a search on the forums and you will find the same conclusion. :)

Thanks! You all have been very helpful!

I have used all of the above. For the last 11 years I have used Bio-Sea by AquaCraft because it has all of the good points that have been listed but none of the bad points.

Test for magnesium and iodine and then add if needed. Test for calcium too and add if needed; a lot of the time a large WC will bring all parameters back in line. I like kalkwasser for CA myself, my clams grow like crazy on it.

Here a site that may be of help: http://www.melevsreef.com/allmysumps.html

If you want good filtration for a good price then a Hang-On-Back (HOB) filter is the best. I use AquaClears myself.

How do you know what size UV to get? I have a 75 gallon tank. Is there a rule of thumb like cut the rated capicity in half? What about flow rate, again is there a rule of thumb or just follow the directions? Thanks!

I have a few White Clouds and they school a little bit with the 13 Neon Tetras in my 75 gallon tank. Other than that they are a great fish.

Very nice fish and tank! :)

Actinic and Actinic 03 are the same thing. I don't know what the 6700k is. hth

For the dreaded green water, I used an algaecide on a 55 gallon FW tank I had a number of years ago. More recently I used UV to get rid of it on a reef tank; I am sold on UV now because of that and its other water quality enhancements.
