Aquarium Advice Regular
A buddy has a 55 gal. salt tank. Covered with the blue-green cyano or slime algae.
His equipment includes
55 gal. tank
55 gal. undergravel filter
2 maxi-jet 900 power heads (for the undergravel)
1 Small Whisper HOB filter
48" Twin Tube NO light strip
His Inhabitants are.
1 Ringed Anenome
1 Condylactis Anenome
3 Green Leg Hermit Crabs
1 Bi-Color Damsel
5 un-identified assorted fish
2 Pencil Urchin
1 Rock Urchin
1 Porcelain Crab
1 small starfish
10-15 lbs. of LR
100lbs of dolomite gravel
Against my advice he purchased all of this in a package at a garage sale, for $300.00. Now he wants my help in fixing his cyano bloom. I told him most of his critters will not survive in these conditions. And that his cyano bloom was is probably a low flow issue?
He does not have internet access so he is using me as a messenger to post. What else should I tell him,provided he will listen?
TIA,
Andrew
