    hair algae.

    Has your tank finished cycling? What are your parameters water wise? What size tank? Do you have a fuge? If you have a lot of hair algae i would suggest a lawn mower blenny all though that can be hit or miss also. I have found for me hair algae is a sign of excess nutrients and phosphate are you...

    removing sand from display tank

    I vacuum the top layer of mine but only in small sections per water change. I feel there is a lot of life in the sand bed I don’t wish to disturb it all at once. As for under the rock I never deal with it when I do A water change once a week I use a power head and blast off the rock work I do...

    removing sand from display tank

    Anthony Calfo has deep sand beds that are over 10 years old I have been around long enough to remember the Berlin method craze then we went to dsb's now it looks like every one wants to go Berlin again or bare bottom as it’s called now. I think I read the article you are talking about there...

    Socal reefer considering moving to seattle area.

    Ya well the thing about LA traffic is there are usually three freeways to choose from if one is jacked you can re-route and of course as you stated surface routes. Any time I had to go west to east I could take the 91, 60, 10 North or south you had 110, 405, 5, 101 these are just the major...

    Yes it would be there is no infrastructure the 405 is for the most part is a two lane highway that has connections to the two floating bridges out here and when they jack up so does the 405. north or south it never seems to matter some days you get lucky most you don’t all though if you avoid...

    I just noticed your from the OC Move to Bellevue you will be happy there. Yes it is very pretty here the traffic sucks and not to be an ass but the drivers here are rude as hell especially on the 405 but I am on the road a lot for my job so maybe I notice it more. Its just sad when I think LA...

    muriatic acid & iron oxide

    I would think lots of foaming and a noxious gas you would not want to inhale. If I remember my Collage O-chem muriatic acid is diluted hydrochloric acid or they are one and the same either way your looking at a water based solution of hydrogen chloride Gas that will most likely be released...

    Socal reefer considering moving to seattle area.

    Stay out of kent some areas are nice but most suck. I moved from so cal to kent and man was I suprised at how bad kent was I am in the hills of auburn now which is nice. I am looking to buy a house in Issaquah. Puyallup is a little far out if you are used to cities Tacoma is like Oakland CA.

    Under tank refugium

    I have an under tank fuge. I set it up for ph and phosphate also to increase my pod population. I have a Synchiropus picturatus (yellow target mandarin goby) She had decimated the pod pop in the tank in a week or so. Before I put her in they where all over the glass a couple weeks later I saw...

    Something has gone terribly wrong!

    Dilution is the solution I would do water changes and keep the temps steady hopefully it will help. Donw needs to chime in on the hose but I would think black rubber hose would not be good some of them have metal braiding on the inside to handle more heat and pressure What type of chiller is...
