    Light fixture 1.5 years later

    I really cannot complain much since I did get this fixture new for $90, Deep Blue SolarXtreme 48", 4 bulb, T5 unit. The first problem, right after i got it, was one of the led bulbs went out, smack in the middle. I wrote the manufacturer and they made all the arrangements to replace the whole...

    What to do?

    Four days ago I noticed that Cyano was creeping up in the tank. I haven't had much time lately to really be on top of things so I added some Chemi clean and an aerator. In three days the cyano was gone; I turned on the skimmer and it went nuts even set to off. Last night I put the Kent carbon...

    Aquarium Fish International is no more

    Sad news. As of October 2012 the magazine will stop publication. I have been subscribing for a few years and they recently took over FAMA. Now both will be gone. Just a shame. http://www.fishchannel.com/fish-magazines/aquarium-fish-ceases-publication.aspx

    I have posted a few times now my hair algae problems. Tonight I scraped all the HA off the overflow and back glass in preparation of the inerts I m getting tomorrow.

    Need Nac7 Skimmer advise

    I have this Nac7 skimmer for a few weeks now. Every time I swap out my filter socks the skimmer goes nuts for quite some time. I even unplugged it for a few hours but still no good. I managed to calm it down by pulling up on the riser tube and then slowly pushing it down over the next 24hrs...

    ATO and dosing

    I am trying to figure a way to make my daily manual dosing easier. Let's assume I dose ALK, Cal, vinegar, and Mag at 20, 20, 30 and 40ml respectively. Let's also assume my 5g ATO last 3 or 4 days before I have to add more water. Can I multiply the daily dosage by the number of days the top off...
