    Suggestions on control of Bubble Algea

    What type of crabs would you use? I think I must have popped a few while siphoning. My tank is no where near being taken over but I know it can be a potetial problem.

    Suggestions on control of Bubble Algea

    Looking for some advice on how to get rid of that rapidly spreading bubble algea. Water parrameters are looking good, I use a phosphate reactor and replace media monthly. When doing weekly water changes I try and siphon out as many as I can. Anyone else dealing with this stuff?

    cleaning routines

    Cleaning Routines Wow, you run a tight ship... Once a week I change five gallons, clean the skimmer cup, check parameters and clean the glass. Top of is constant via a Kent Aqua Dose with RO. I add B-Ionic when Cal. levels drop below 400.

    Loud Sump

    Now that my noise problem is over I need to figure out why my Skimmer is not working like it did before putting the pipe under the water in my sump. Is it because of all the air? Let me know what you think..

    Loud Sump

    Thanks for the info. My sump is a 20 long and only has about 6'' of water in it. I don't have a chamber in the sump so if I do this I need to figure out how to keep the air bubbles from getting into my return. Do you think drilling holes into the pvc will work or do you suggest cutting holes...
