Can someone point me to the tank cleaning thread. I have spent money on 3 vaccum tubes. Yes 3. and none of them have enough power durring syphon to get the nasty algea off the sand. It seems they are all just sucking water and stiring sand. So im looking for the techniques everyone is using...

Hi guys, I am having a sand algea problem. the clean up crew doesnt seem to be getting to it so I was thinking. :whstlr: If I add more or another sand sifting star will it help with the problem? mine does a good job just cant :chainsaw: fast enough, and the brittle star stays on the rocks...

I currently run 2 over the back filters on my 55 gal tank. they pump about 850 gph btw the 2. Its been mentioned to increase flow, So what if............ I put one filter on each end facing each other. would it make a diff. in the current? Could I get a tidal wave in the middle of the tank...

I am running this filter. 3 stage. just realized today the guy that came to install all the stuff for the tank when he filled it put the filters in backwards. So needless to say that may have been some of my water trouble. Anyone else use this. I find it to be great otherwise, I would like...

While im waiting for my water to straighten out, I was wondering what I can do to get rid of the red velvet and algea that clumps the sand. I really dont wanna add anything to the water, but should i take out the peices and scrub it off or will this give me undesirable results? Ive been...
