DSFIRSTSLTWATER Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 Well here we go, I just finally set up the new aqamai kps and I really like it. It's so small and now there is room. It took me a few to figure it out, but it's in and looks awesome. Ā I also just took a bunch of pics of the tank with the new filter and macro lens...check it out and let me know what you think š 5 Quote Link to comment

DSFIRSTSLTWATER Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 It has yellow and orange plus a 10x macro. They all screw together and you can mix and match. Those shots are all yellow. I might mess with the orange in a little bit. 1 Quote Link to comment

DSFIRSTSLTWATER Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 Ok so my Weds night picking of algae and water change is done.....I'm so sick of picking algae š..looks like I'm gonna buy a red mithrax crab. I'm trying everything to get this crap under control. This really is a hard battle to win....I'm wondering if I'm gonna have to do a water change every other day and see if that helps. Readings are off cause of the algae. Phosphate has never been over .1 even before the GHA started. Who knows, cuc, macroalgae and a crab and see what happens. Ā How many is too many in the snails department? Looking more for GHA eaters. Quote Link to comment

Really only got this problem a few months ago. All this time since march I've been good with no tank aids as Sancho puts it lol. I still think if I throw some nice macros in the tank they will out compete the hair algae. Could be dead wrong though.

Blue legged hermits are supposed to be good as well. Ā Thanks for the help guys š 1 Quote Link to comment
