liveclown Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I have done a 10 gallon water change over the past week. It seems to help for a day then comes back..... I don't know what this stuff is..... It is bugging the crap out of me... I also have phosphate sponge in it. Please help. Should I get a skimmer like the taam rio to see if that helps. My water is just so green... I dont knw if its algae or what..... Link to comment

SPerry Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Sweet you're growing Phyto. Skimmer, UV sterilizer or diatom filter would help Link to comment

reefone Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 yes being overstocked and getting lazy on wc's is a big part of the problem. Link to comment

MR.FEESH Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Uv sters are made for combating stuff in water, especially if it happens to be green. Solve other obvious problems first, then get one. Link to comment

texass2323 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Dont listen to the tang police, yes your overstocked but you can get rid of the other fish, its your tank not anyone elses, My buddy Glennr1978 has a tang as I do in 40g breeders and his tank is one of the nicest on NR..

texass2323 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Missed that part.... What are you thinking, get rid of that Tang...LOL.... Link to comment
liveclown Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Why do you say get rid of the tang?? Too much waste production?? Link to comment
Marteen Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 The tank is too small and tangs are messy eaters. That's why you are having algae problems. Also you have two damsels and a maroon, all of these are big messy eaters as well. Link to comment
