The 'red algae' you are describing, is it actually algae or cyano? Whats the difference between cyano and algae. I always thought they were the same. What I have is red hair on my glass and like a red slime on the rocks. Should I change phosban weekly or should I just add biopellets...

I am using ro/di, just tested it 0ppm. I have a yellow tang already, he does not care for it. I also have a phosban reactor. Like I said the algae is on the back wall and the overflow, covering them. a little bit on the rocks

hI I have a major algae problem. I have lots of hair algae and some red algae growing. Most of the hair algae is on the back of the glass and on the overflow, some is on the rocks. Red algae is on the sand and rocks. 75 gallon tank Tank is three years old My tank was doing great until about...

I have those 2 fish in my 75 now they are doing great

What do you pay in electric to run these tanks?

going to buy a new 20 Thanks SEvtt-- thanks for sharing but that is too much work lol Mike

I bought a 20 gallon tank for one of my sick fish last year and used ick cure in the tank. Could I use this tank as my top off to my reef tank? Is there copper in ick cure? would using this tank affect my corals and inverts or should I go and buy a new tank? Thanks Mike

what is a good fan to cool down the tank? The fan goes over my sump under the tank. I tried most of the fans you get in home depot and walmart, however they dont last longer than a few months. Want to buy a good one that will last. I was looking at the orion or ones by azoo. thanks Mike
