Go slow and let it grow is the mantra for this hobby When silica is depleted diatoms will go. When phosphates and nitrates are reduced the red cyano and green algea will disipate. Siphoning off the red cyano is a great way to export phosphates. Increased circulation and fresh light bulbs will help mitigate the cyano.

290gph on 24g but i do plan on putting in a light pump to get more random circulation since it just kinda spirals around I also have brand spankin new bulbs but i am relaxin and takin it nice and slow, had plenty of people that rushed telling me to relax so.. i am.
thanks for the advice though i might do a light waterchange (just enough to siphon off some algae)

Nice Valentine's presents

Could you do me a big favor and post the results of TM pro at a salinity of 35ppt? I am debating on weather to use TM or TM pro and the test results of the Pro would be extremely helpful! Maybe ca, alk & magnesium?

daveat · 02-10-2006, 09:46 AM

i don't have a more advanced test kit than the good old nitrate,ite,ammo and ph.
ph is a perfect 8.2 considering our ro water comes out at 6.8 i think it does a good job.

i am planning on getting a CA and Alk test kit soon but don't have a need for it yet since i don't really have any creatures that use it, i'll see if my LFS can test those for me

Woodstock · 02-10-2006, 09:52 AM

Awesome, thank you!

NUGIO · 02-10-2006, 07:26 PM

Mine came w/the surface skimmer and i got an old 200w tronic heater.i'm wondering if its going to be too much for it.
