    ID Red Slime/Cyano?

    Helping a friend with his tank (75G with hang on skimmer/overflow box and no sump, T5HO). It seems that this red stuff has been taking over his tank the past couple of months. He is running a Phosban pad, Activated Carbon and GFO and doing bi-weekly 10% water changes. Tried adjusting feeding to every 2-3 days and shortening light cycle. We cleaned all the rocks off by spot treating with H202 but its creeping back again. The crushed coral seems to have the same substance on it and is about 2-3 years old (vigorous vacuuming during wc). Is this kicking up phosphates during the vacuuming and causing the nutrient excess? What about QTing livestock and replacing with new LS and spot treating the rocks again? I will link him this thread to specify any other details/answer the questions/feedback. Attached is a screenshot.

    Conduit LED Light Hanger/fixture for Biocube (Need Bender?)

    Hey Guys,

    Anyone have any experience in building something like what is laid in the links below? I am looking to build something to hang an LED fixture from and going open hood on my biocube until I am ready for a bigger tank. If I go the bent conduit route instead of using elbows how much am I going to waste trying to get it right? Any feedback/advice is greatly appreciated.
