Michaelangelo Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 you have a great tank! an inspiration to mine for sure! Link to comment
.Newman. Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I have to ask paris, what water do you use? not the salt, but I'm asking about the water. I think that is what makes your tank so algae free, that your water has no nutrients in it... Link to comment
mew Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 most likely RO/DI, which is what you're supposed to use... Link to comment
.Newman. Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 I use distilled, but I kinda want to hear the source for paris's water If its an RO/DI unit then its obviously superior to my bottled distilled water... Link to comment

I use RO/DI water for mixing salt and topping off. You tended to exaggerate HEHE. My tank is not algae free . I try to clean the tank and take out nuisance algae as much as possible. And I still believe that frequent water change is the key. Link to comment

What source does this RO/DI water come from? your own unit, a pet store's or do you buy bottled? if bottled then what brand? (cuz I dont think Walgreens Distilled water is cutting it) It does not look like you have neisance algae in there o_o that purple filamentous algae looks very nice actually. all I ever get is red cyano, brown diatoms, bryopsis and now the newest addition is green bubble algae Link to comment

You remind me that I have not change my filters for almost a year now HEHE. I had experience cyano outbreak once. All I did was doing water change more frequently. Increase flow in the tank would also help. nice Thank you Damsels R Cool Link to comment

All I did was doing water change more frequently. Increase flow in the tank would also help. whats funny is that my cyano is growing ONLY in the sports with most direct flow from my HOB filter... no where else. I would expect it to grow in the spots behind my rock scape where the flow is less, but no I have never seen the cyano leave the front of my tank... The flow in my tank is already strong enough to bother my zoas, I do not think I can increase it anymore without causing problems for the sand in the tank and the corals... So RO/DI water from a unit might be the answer? or more water changes. but if its my water thats causing the problem, then what is the point of those? is Distilled water really not pure enough for reef? I'm confused, cuz now I will need to find a source thats even purer ._. Link to comment
parishilton Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 As you all know that our beloved hobby never goes smoothly. Now I have experienced one more of obstacle. Somehow my rocks collapsed.
