Anthony with all three sweet zoas lol

Small update... gha is slowly going away. Any tips on clearing the water any?

Adjusted the media basket some, its got floss, carbon, purgien. Prolly need to rinse all of that out next wc. How long is carbon good for anyway?

From my experiences carbon loses its effectiveness after about a month of use, give or take a little depending on bio load and such. If I wait longer than that I tend to see my nutrient levels spike, which I'm guessing is being leeched from over expended carbon. And also putting fresh carbon in could probably help clear your water up a bit

I think it last about 3 Weeks that's when I had to replace it all the time before I quit using it

Ah yeah... def time to cycle it then. lol

Cleaned up my media rack this weekend. Rinsed out the purigen and dumped out the bag of carbon. Then added two more layers of filer floss (which I just read is what your supposed to do!)

Here is the result of a day after...

Sadly... looks like the bubble algae made its way into this tank off the two rocks I pulled from my ten gallon (WHYYYYYY!!!)

Getting some emerald crabs tomorrow I guess.

I hope the crab will work for ya cause mine sure don't he will only eat frozen food when I feed my fish he doesn't do anything with the algae it seems

It didnt...

i spent 3 hours today pulling,scraping,etc bubble algae off tonight and then pouring hydrogen peroxide on it to kill off the spores, then a good rinse with ro water.

Lil advice... see bubble algae, pull it out! I ended up pulling all of the rock out and ended up leaving a big one out due to how much it was covered.

I doubt i got everything too.. sigh.

That sucks I just had to do that to a thing of zoas I bought from a guy they was all over it

looks good boss

Going to get my batteries in my better camera and get a shot or two... settings are all messed up on my phone it looks like.
