    Growing Phytoplankton at home

    I started the culture in two identical 1L bottles. Salt water is mixed with the recommended dosage of ferts. 7 days later the culture has turned emerald green. So I poured out half of one of the bottles and refilled with the same fertilized water, leaving the other bottle untouched. Two days...

    Help!! Leaking pipes!

    I have a very simple wrench that came with a bulkhead kit I bought years ago. I still have it. It's a simple piece of metal and one size is for a 3/4" the other 1". I think it's an aqueon. You're welcome to try it if you want to make the drive. But it may not work for you since I see you have...

    few questions on putting stand on uneven floor

    Build the stand then place the stand on pieces of 2x4's at the four corners. So effectively the stand in elevated. Much easier to shim that way.

    Horseplay's 105g Rimless

    So I finally gave in and did a ChemiClean treatment to the tank. I have done this 3 times in two years, usually after a tank move or rescaping etc. Since the latest rescaping 4 months ago the tank has gone thru turf algae, hair algae and finally Cyano. The cyano might be brought on by the...

    Racing extinction

    Watched half of it and didn't think it was too good. It's a little bit of all over the place. Would rather watch whale wars. Nowadays there are a lot of these shows on TV it's hard to come out with something new. Take away is eat less meat more veggie. Good for humans and the planet as well.

    DSA 135....

    I have an old T5 fixture with 6 bulbs you can give it a try if you like. I like using one purple bulb really bring out the red color in fish. Buy a few more bulbs so you can play with different combos. I like the blues from these cheap 120W LED fixtures. The whites not so much. You can mount a...

    New tank choice

    I paid about $1200 for my DSA 105 rimless with stand, shipped. A cheaper option for you and I have no complaints. It all depends on your budget.

    Inherited 90

    Paul - BP won't solve your PO4 problem completely. It almost always deplete NO3 first. Some people even dose NO3. You can run a little GFO to remove the excess PO4. For hair algae problem you can get a couple of Emerald crabs. These have done wonder for me.

    Juano's 75 Gallons "The Re-Build"

    Forget about measuring PO4 I found it quite useless. BP is good but be patient and wait for it to kick in. I would get 3 emerald crabs that will take care of you algae problem.
