Thanks for the compliments. I really neglected my tank during the
summer and it's just now beginning to turn the corner.

Nice! How did all the hair algae get there?

Tank looks great. The bubble alage would suggest high phosphate levels

You are Correct Sir!

Here's how my tank spent the summer:

1. My t5's apparently degraded nearly completely somewhere in the
ninth month of their life. It never occurred to me to worry before
a year.

2. My weekly water changes slowed to semi monthly (maybe).

3. I allowed phosphate magnets (foam, etc) to go uncleaned for
a couple of months.

Perfect recipe for phosphate

In the last two weeks I've done the following:

1. Replace bulbs. Wow what a difference
2. Remove all "magnets" for phosphate
3. Install Phosban reactor with Rowa phos
4. Add major cleaning crew (about 40 hermits and assorted snails)
5. Massive vaccuum/water changes.

Wow! Road to recovery for sure!

I lost all my SPS and alot of blastos:verymad:

These survived:smirk:

Once the hair algae is under control, I have to address flatworms.

To treat myself for my hard work,,,, I bought these paly's

Beatiful tank and I can see it's on its way to recovery.
