    cyanobacteria

    Kevin, that's great. I think I'll mainly stick with syphon/grin&bear for now unless it gets really bad. It's new so I'm expecting nothing perfect.

    cyanobacteria

    Yeah, that photo looks exactly like what I had. I've also had a start of a green algae breakout, so I'm hoping that maybe I've moved through the diatom stage, then the cyano stage, and now I have a stronger algae taking over, with hopes of it eventually moving onto coralline.

    cyanobacteria

    yeah, I've been keeping my eyes open for dead spots. I found one that had really strong growth of cyano. Another problem I've had lately is a heat wave here in WA, so I have to keep my window open to get air movement, which exposes the tank to sunlight. I dunno if it's a factor, but we'll see...

    cyanobacteria

    Tank is about 2 months old and it's got pretty decent flow. 85 gallon tall (45x18x24) with two 660 powerheads. I haven't checked nitrate levels lately, but I'll look into that before I change water today and see if that's the problem. I'll cut back on feeding levels as well and see how that does.

    cyanobacteria

    That's what I've been told this light pink ground covering that puts out hairs is. I've also been told low light, suction it off the ground during water changes, and do 10 gallon changes as often as possible. Can anyone tell me any other ideas? I haven't had time to do all the water changes...

    The grandson strikes again

    tried PM'ing you but your box is full. Mind directing me in the general area of this person? I'm just trying to get an idea of price.

    Best way to move 72g tank?

    excellent thread. I'll be doing this in the next month or so, too, so this is something I'll follow closely. Keep us updated, please.

    bully domino

    I just got two new chromis and the domino damsel in the tank hasn't taken kindly to them. Can I remove the domino to a 10 gallon for a few days and have things get better? Will they jut tough it out? Do I stand a cold chance in hell of ever having them be friends?

    Where did you learn plumbing designs for tanks?

    I have a dream design that I want to map out in solidworks, but I don't know anything about designs as of yet. Plumbing seems to be tricky to me and I'd love to learn about it, but I don't know where to start. I'm also curious about the stress levels of acrylic glass. Both these things seem...

    Storms tonight?

    we lost a short bit of power up here in bellingham. Didn't do anything noticeable to the tank, luckily.

    Just discovered this

    What's your tank like? I have an 85 gallon that's 4-5 weeks old with 3 blue-green chromis, a domino, and a coral beauty. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v232/aedeos/

    Just discovered this

    thanks for the welcome. This site is really huge as far as forums go--especially in terms of breadth AND depth. It's all really overwhelming at first, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. I'm an internet pro. Thanks for the invite to a meeting, though it seems y'all don't meet until later...

    I'm entirely too new to this

    not wholesale, large scale. As in, multiple thousand-gallon tanks designs, what's needed, all that.

    Just discovered this

    I'm from bellingham, curious about this group, and wondering what it offers to someone new to the hobby. I just started my tank 5 or so weeks ago. Would love to learn what people in the area have and what this group offers.

    I'm entirely too new to this

    http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v232/aedeos/ There's an idea of what I've done thus far. It's the college budget set up, but it's working so far. Unfortunately, I lost two dominoes recently. One to death, another I literally lost. *poof*

    I'm entirely too new to this

    I just started an 85g tank about 4-5 weeks ago, it's going along decently, and I'm dreaming too hard. I ran into someone who suggested this site today, so here I am. Right now my tank is just sitting with 3 green-blue chromis, a domino damsel, and a coral beauty angel. 6 turbins to keep...
