Paul, as I said prior I think it was the light. The HA is only on one side and that was the bulb which is bad. I am doing water changes, running GFO, got the skimmer to improve too. So, this is a last ditch effort and will probably start on Sunday or Monday after some more research. I will check...
That video is in the link I gave. Recommended dosage is 1ml peroxide per 10g water. I have a 75g DT and 30g sump and was think of going with 80g total volume which would be 8ml of peroxide daily.
Sunny, on R2R there is an article and it claims that it kills HA and other algae along with dinoflagellates. I am still searching the web on this and let everyone if I go with this process or not. Here is the R2R link...
Okay, I figured out my hair algae issue; at least I think I did. The actinic PC bulb is very old you can see by looking at it. This should no longer be an issue since I have a new T5 fixture. I have tried dosing Magnesium but the HA is still around and growing. So tonight a bought a rabbit fish...
Paul, I agree with pop eye observations but I never tried that. I usually let the fish be and it goes back and if not the fish was fine swimming around. Years ago when I first got into this hobby I purchased a seahorse, it had babies but then had a huge air bubble causing it to float at the...
Paul, the sponge filter is on the outside and of the unit. The part that goes in the bucket is where you can see it. Wwhich is why I am a bit concerned in using it to clean the sump.
This is what I have. The sponge filter is on the outside of the part that goes on the bucket...
Sid, they are felt but they are old so some don't last as long and the water overflows out into the sump. I try to keep up changing the socks as I have 8. Even bleach cleaning in the washer doesn't help the bad ones.
I noticed much dirt in sump and want to clean it out. Last time I drained the sump and used paper towels and a small toy shovel to get the dirt out. I know have a bucket topper wet vac and am wondering if I can use it to vacuum out the dirt. There is a sponge pad on the wet vac so do I leave...
I have a Corallife 48" Power Compact 4 bulb light fixture for sale.
Asking $30 OBO. Will trade let me know what you have.
It currently has 2 65w actinic bulbs and 1 96w 10k.
One of actinics needs to be replaced. The other is 9 months old.
The 10k is close to a year.
Thanks for looking,
Mark
The past few months my toadstool sheds and then polyps come out. It does this every month for about 6 months now. I thought they did this to grow but mine seems to be shrinking in diameter. Was about 7" and now 5". Anyone know what is going?
I really cannot complain; so far I like them a lot. The stock actinic could be a little bluer but I plan to swap them out.
I will try and get pics of the actinic and led lights later tonight and post.
