i read this the other day, basically says that the Pacific Turbo snail likes red algea http://www.aquatouch.com/algae.htm

I use Sea Clearly as well, Misti rocks!! Tell her Rey sent you

couldnt you mount the DJ with the switches pointed up, and the power cords down, so that the power cords are going up into the power sockets?

Turn your Eclipse tank into a mineral oil cooled Personal Computer case! http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2008/10/mineral_oilcooled_aquarium_pc_kit_now_available_for_purchase-2/ I have one of the 12 gallon tanks if anyone wants to buy it

must.....resist....telling........butt joke......ARGH!!!!!

Howdy, we're going to take our first Snow trip to Albuquerque, NM. I wanted advice on the route to take to get there. Google maps shows two routes, one is up 35 to OK, then west via i40 to Alb. OR, i10 west thru Fort Stockton, El Paso and up i25 thru NM. We're driving, so I wanted to see if anyone has done this and which route would be best. Rey

I havnt had algea problems, but I was recently given 5 gallons of salt water that was purhcased at one of the local stores that everyone goes to. Monday, this 5 gallons was part of the 15 gallons I used for a water change. Now I have this algea. The person that gave me the water also had this algea problem, but couldnt figure out where the algea was coming from. He would do more water changes to try to resolve the issue and unknowingly was adding more of the problem water. What kind of algea is it and how do I get rid of it? I have a Naso tang, Powder blue and coral beauty, none of them seem interested. I threw in 4 Turbos to see if they would like a snack. I'll stick to my ro/di water from now on. What is wrong with the stores water, what caused it, bad filters?

sounds good, lemme know

Mr. Off, can I come by to see the unit?

+3 on the air pump. They make 12v versions for cars, fishermen use them to keep live bait aerated in a bucket or icechest for hours/days.

Thank you Cindy! Great to meet you and I love your tank!

Cindy had to move the date to today, I'll be heading there later.

download malwarebytes (free version) from malwarebytes.org, run it and it should catch any popup programs. I use this one all the time to disinfect client systems.

will he play nice with a Sepent Star? if so, I'd like to have him, I can be there about 7pm-ish, I'll send you a PM with my number, just call me if someone else can come get it before me to save me a trip. I live in Gtown. Rey

+1 for Misti at Sea Clearly Aquarium Maintennance. 512-600-4779

X comes out like Elmers glue, very dense and sinks quickly, it goes exactly where you put it (if your flow is off)

boiling water via a syringe kills them. Aiptaisia X works great! I have used lemon juice via a syringe as well, but once I found X, thats been the best.

bring a bib, thats all I have to say

my two cents, i thought I had alot of "debris" as well, turned out to be micro bubbles being drawn in from anti-siphon holes on the pipe that empties water into main tank. Once I plugged those, they went away.

this is a great topic! question, does the population in the main tank become a problem for filtration or pumps etc? I dont want to clog stuff up. I'll be setting up a 10 gallon in a couple of weeks that I'll be getting from RCA and I would like to seed the pods in that one before we add fish, but I dont want to plug anything up.

kingsnake (jeff) has some live rock too, he is shutting his tank down.

I have a Ultralife fish trap (modified with magnets) you can borrow, but I'm up in RR and live in Gtown(trap is at home).

my two cents: cleanup saltcreep (if any) when you do the water change. I once had saltcreep cause my icecap ballast to arc and smelled like burning plastic. Had I not been home, I'm not sure what would have happened.

I guess it would depend on what she looks like
