    Alk won't go over 5.5

    Subject says it all. I moved my tank back in July across town. Due to cyano, I took the time it was torn down to replace the sand and scrub the rock. Used 60 pounds of fresh Fiji Pink, and scrubbed all my rock with a stiff brush 3 times in fresh saltwater every time. It's a 55g sumpless...

    Cyano...

    I know this has been discussed to death, but short of chemicals, I am running out of ideas. My 55g FOWLR is a year and a half old. A month or so ago, I developed a little cyano. Daylights off for 3 days got rid of it, and I replaced my GFO. Had a sudden overrun of green hair algae, cyano and...

    Temp controllers

    Curious when you set say an apex controller to a temp, its not constantly toggling the heater off/on. If you set it at 77 and the temp starts slowly dropping, what temp does it kick back on at? Sent from my SCH-I535 using Tapatalk

    Chocolate chip star...

    Well, without much thought, the girlfriend fell in love with a chocolate chip star. So far, in this 55g, its him, a clarkii clown, 2 sgt major damsels and a royal gramma...
