![]() Our tanks are always changing to reach a state of equilibrium.
There is obviously something fuelling the algae growth, and I know we have different opinions on this subject...so I hesitate in asking.... ![]() How old are your rocks? ..or.. Can there be any areas of detritus accumulation that have been sitting there for a while? I'm not on the Biopellet bandwagon yet, but they may turn out to be yet another good form of nutrient export. I am probably going to be hooking up a second skimmer fed by my 1st skimmer in my ongoing battle for nutrient export. Just a suggestion anyways. Mitch |

![]() Thanks Mitch. No detritus, as I cleaned the tank out completely after my mishap. Yes, I have some old rock. Some I have had since the early '90,s. But I also have some new stuff that I replaced older rock with.
The tank was fine a couple months ago with this rock. By the way, the "and" was for Ian. I still need a reactor and if the short version is no good for tumbling, and the one he suggested to high for my situation, then ?? ![]() I,m thinking now I may just get a Vertex and put it in the sump beside my return pump. No reason that should not work.

Doug, we can most certainly hook you up with our Phosban reactor Bead combo for tight spaces or the Vertex. We also have something else in the works; however, I can only provide a small peak of it at this time as it is top secret. Last edited by OceanicCorals-Ian-; 06-29-2010 at 08:37 PM. |

Agreed. But again, they are 17in. tall. I have 15in. Unless I put the unit in the sump.

![]() So cleaned the front glass when home for lunch, now @ 6pm I can barely see through it. Think I dont have a problem?
![]() Over 30yrs. keeping aquariums I have never seen anything like it, in anyones aquarium that I know of. Not that fast. Since I have done numerous water changes and my skimmer is pulling crap non stop, something must be getting introduced in a water change? Cant be just the crap from the rtn event. I must have that removed by now. Whatever the problem is, its likely what caused the rtn and the loss of all my acro,s. I have seen less algae growth in a shallow pond with no filtration, sitting out in the sun. ![]()

Hmmm, I may be able to help you with that space issue but it will be a few weeks until I can say how... ![]() |

![]() Thanks Ian. I borrowed a 150 tonight. Running gfo now. So the reactor is under 14in. What the heck. Specs say 17in. Perhaps they have changed height.
