    Water Storage WTB

    in General Discussion

    thank you guys. I was thinking about the craiglist one too. If any of you guys have any tips on where can i get them locally or something better than what i am looking at will appreciate. I cannot afford water spill. This time around and my wife will put an end to this hobby. I need it for water storage and also salt mixing so looking at two to buy. Thank you again for any tips.

    Return Pump

    in General Discussion

    I am researching and looking to buy a  return pump for a 36"L x 36"W x 17"H tank. The tank will be on a 36" Cube stand. What do you guys think about the Jebao pumps. There is a 3000 and 9000 model. If any idea on any other product please feel free to let me know. I want it as quiet as possible.

    Coral Hind's 600g FOWLR

    Now why is your pressure low? Aren't you on city water there? If so, can you bump up the house regulator to get more pressure. I did that in Ashburn to deliver about 70 psi instead of the 40-45 psi that the builder had set.

     

    Sorry to jump into this conversation but how do you bump up the pressure as I also have the same issue. My water pressure seems low. So just a 30 gl tank takes all day for me to fill it.

    Hair Algae

    in General Discussion

    the hair algae does not look like normal hair algae. It looks more like dog hair stuck on the corner with lot of dust and dirt stuck to it. Hope that helps a little. It has dramatically gone down but I can never get rid of it 100%. Lights on and it comes back.

    Hair Algae

    in General Discussion

    Hello Guys,

    Steve first i would like to thank you so much for all the great advice and ideas you gave me. Let me get into the issue first. My tank has been running close to two years now. It was fine after the move for few months and since then it has been a challenge to keep the tank healthy. There has been months when everything looked good and I am like finally then I get something from someone and boom i get issues again. Realized but late that does not matter who I get it from I should always quarantine it. I never had one but now I am planning to setup one. The last issue i had was few months ago getting Hair Algae and Red Bubble algae. Since then having very difficulty to get rid of it. Had weeks no lights on as I do not have anything left since I lost everything I had due to Hair Algae. It did reduce a major portion but still not all the way out. When I turn my lights on days later I start seeing algae again. Have done water changes and do not feed a lot as only have 3 fishes so only feed them like once every 3 days. The fishes look very healthy and fat, lol do not know what they have been feeding on. Tried everything and getting tired there. I had an incident few weeks ago and my sump cracked so I had to buy and replace my sump and with that opportunity replaced my plumbing to PVC. Lost my refugium as it was built in to my old sump. Was thinking of setting up a new refugium but the new sump only has two chambers and was wondering how can I keep chaeto in the sump without it getting sucked into my return pump. So i have a that as my new issue too. I got some ideas and will be setting up GFO and see if that helps but if any more solutions please feel free to let me know. Thank you Steve, sorry could not chime in yesterday as by the time got home wife needed help with the baby and that became the priority to get her to sleep. But will try to post pics later tonight if needed and also will try few of the steps suggested in this form.
