    Red algae?

    You want to continue to do this. Also, once you've started to use better test equipment, make sure that your water is what it should be. Starting with your RO/DI, make sure you've got '0' TDS, check your make up water next, if there's any nutrients there, you're just adding to the problem every...

    Hair algae outbreak.

    If there weren't any nutrients there, you wouldn't have any HA, so yes it is utilizing what is available. It can survive on very small amounts, and you have an added issue with the amount of light in the right spectrum (natural day light) for it to grow. Like you, I keep make up water ready all...

    Red algae?

    What are you using to measure it with? Your PO4 is best kept below .03ppm.

    Is my skimmer sufficient?

    Wow, I can't imagine where your getting all that PO4 from. You do have a Hanna meter right? I'm using the high capacity GFO too, and only have to change it about every two months. How's your RO/DI unit?

    Is my skimmer sufficient?

    I think if I were looking to but a new one, I'd go with one that was a little larger. But if that one is in good working order, I don't know that I would change it. What else are you doing, i.e. GFO reactor for the PO4, GAC reactor, fuge? PS What are your parameters?

    Dave’s 90g learning-curve glass room experiment

    I have been using bio pellets for about 8 month's now, and I do believe that trying to employ different processes that need the same elements to function can be counterproductive to each other, if there isn't enough of the needed element to go around. That is why when I started to use bio...
