I recommend vacuuming your sump. Place a couple small power heads in there to assist. I vacuum mine at least once per month, using a small 3/8"...
Sorry, it's been quite awhile since posting. I can only say, "I've been very-very busy". Now for an update that's been a long time coming....
Finally "Houston", we have "lift-off". Here's what I discovered in the LR "cooking barrel". With the exception of one tiny-dark-green tuft, the...
Thanks Garf, lots of good info there. I'm going to continue to perform weekly salt water rinses, and change out the LR barrel water. Today, I'll...
Yesterday, I relocated my ATS to the LR barrel. I'll update later as to progress. I will give the ATS some time to work it's magic, if no...
Turbo, I forgot to answer your question as to where I obtained my rock from. Some is ~17 years old, obtained from divers near Tonga, and some...
Not to get off topic, but if you can locate Leslie's fiber cellulose from a pool supply store, it's cheaper, just as efficient, and a little less...
Some people drip Lanthanum Chloride (LC) integrated with a Vertex water polisher/Diatomaceous Earth (DE). I don't like the way they prime, so I'm...
I'm using a phosban reactor filled with Sea Gel on my display tank. Once my new Magnum 350 arrives, I will do the Lanthanum Chloride/Diatomaceous...
Here's another update, with a scientific twist. Per my previous post, on 10-5-13, I removed all GHA infected LR from my display tank, and...
Just a quick update: The Tech M did not work at all at reducing or eliminating GHA in my tank. My parameters are okay, (NO3=0, PO4=0, dKH=9,...
Thanks for posting the photos for me, I appreciate that. Negative on the "branching" type of hair algae. This is plain 'ole green hair algae,...
Alright, I'm back at my residence. Performed another Mg test, the level is 2010. Still, there's not any change in the appearance of the GHA....
Yes, that's a fair assessment. I was looking for another "quick fix-silver bullet", to rid my tank of GHA. While using all these methods at...
If one were to define "bryopsis" as a species encompassing "green hair algae" (GHA). Then, I guess the answer would be "affirmative", I'm...
Just a quick update, as I haven't posted anything in awhile. For past month, I have had exceptional growth. My NO3 & PO4 readings have been...
Okay, I'll give it some time.
Sorry folks, I was just "venting". I get frustrated when I don't see progress. I'm thinking about adding a kalkwasser reactor for top-off water,...
System parameters: pH: 8.06, Temp: 79.2F, Sal: 1.024, Alk: 161.1ppm, Ca: 460ppm, PO4: 0.25ppm, Mg: 1320ppm, NO3: 0ppm. I cannot...
Just my thoughts, and another update from yesterday. My water parameters are all decent, except for phosphate. The API test still indicates 0.25...
