Oh boy.....that doesn't look good....but I think you've found the problem. Carbon....water changes....carbon....water changes....not necessarily in that order. Now how did that add to the cloudy tank situation you had?

John, you've got some great stuff at a good price that a newbie would love to have. Just looking at that complete RO/DI setup with pump, containers, etc. It took me a could years to eventually build up my RO/DI. Anyway, I mentioned this a couple weeks ago.....we need to open up our Deals...

Are you monitoring nitrates and phosphates......I'd almost think it's a viscous cycle of killing the algae while now also feeding the algae.

I've also seen DIY versions of this. I just wonder what that used roll of material smells like after X number of weeks. I know my wife yells at me when I leave a filter sock in the sink overnight.

I'd store it all. Just make sure the salt is sealed up good and tight....it's hygroscopic and likes to pick up moisture, and it it does, it will turn into a brick. With the GFO, again, make sure it's sealed up.....most are sold wet for a reason. Carbon is indestructible short of it...

How big is the tank? Where are the scratches? And how bad are they. I have scratches and I've learned to live with them.

If acrylic, I think it's fair to say that @Timkatz71 is an expert. Hopefully he'll have something to say considering he polished out a 600+ gallon tank.

Yes, it's 1" and 1" out. I'm retired and home pretty much all the time.....so today after 4 works for me. I'll PM my address.

Wow! What the oogly boogly is going on? If they're spawning, you're going to have millions of stomatella. I've never seen that before. What's you're ORP doing? I would think that would drive it down???

Sunny, I don't think he'll have close to the needed flow.....a dribble. MAG's are not pressure pumps. I have a MAG 18 in a 55 gallon drum to empty it, and it struggles to go maybe 5 feet or so.

Would any of THESE help you?

Thanks @art13. Now I'm wondering if it's any good for hair algae or bubble or cyano???

@art13 if you can share the information, where did you purchase the fluconazole?

Skimmer running correctly? Probe needs to be cleaned? (Although that wouldn't explain change you're noticing in your tank)

FYI, I use boiling tank water to kill aptasia...might take a couple doses. Use a coffee mug and turkey baster to get the little buggers.

Here's my thoughts.....if you're going to keep the back and side glass clean, black or blue work. However, if you're going to let coraline grow and cover it, I think black would blend in better with the glass being covered. I think blue patches would stick out more. JMTC

Following. Thanks, Paul
