Day 23 and all is well temp as come down since we are getting colder in Calgary! Parametes are all perfect! diatoms are starting in abundence! one question has come across my mind though, I modded my Ac 30 into a makeshift fuge not glued or anything. I got some strange plant for the back of it and found out that it was feather caulerpa. Should I continue to use this for my fuge or should I get soemthing less invasive, from what I have been reading is that it can take over your tank quite fast ? any ideas?

Get Cheato....avoid Caulerpa.

I think Caulerpa for a 2.5g would be a very bad idea since it can easily take over the aquarium or kill the system if it becomes angry. Cheato would be the best option.

Thanks! Ill make sure to dump it asap

NO NO NO! Don't just dump it. Leave it outside your house in sun for a day or two for it to dry out and die and then wrap it up in a tight bag or something and then dump it.

hahaha well I was just gonna leave it in the alley way in the sun lol But come to mention it I did read up on the feather caulerpa and I guess it can live in cold water as well so Ill make sure to discard of it properly
