Yeah, when I basted.. the crud stuck to the glass as well haha.

Whoo hoo, Gold's just called and said my cube is ready for pick-up. Yahoo

Time to start saving the pennies for all the little extras I'll need, but it won't be much! Time to start building a stand

Nice!

That cyano sucks. I had an outbreak of it about a year ago. (tried the chemical stuff also.) Kept coming back. It was rather easy to fix for me. I didn't have a protien skimmer yet. once I got the skimmer I cleaned as much of it as I could and it didn't fight back. I see it says you have a skimmer but if anyone is reading this who has this problem and no skimmer. It helped alot to pick one up.

Thanks Gary, heh.. I think I am going to go grab it today.

In regards to cyano and skimmers. I do run an AquaC Remora. It skims very nicely and I always keep it on the wettest setting. I think I have lots of algae INSIDE the skimmer that I can't remove... and the water keeps passing through it. How would one go about fixing this? (ie: cleaning inside the skimmer, to remove all pest algae?)

thanks Bev,

unfortunately it doesn't say how to clean INSIDE the actual body of the skimmer. Oh well..

Bottle brush is what what I use. I have found them in Canadian Tire and even the grocery store. They are usually either by the baby bottles or kitchen gadgets.
