No wories man! I needed to get in there and trim this stuff back anyway, I end up throwing about a football size wad of this stuff away every month... I would feel bad taking cash for that and bills is right on my way home from work...

See you tonight

What are you feeding your tank Eric? May just be a lot of nutrients in your water.
What type of lighting are you using? I am getting ready to grow some and it seems the lighting you are using works well for it, lol. I may pick up the same thing?

yea... my tank is still coming off that tank crash from last summer. im glad to report that i seem to be slowly winning my war on hair algea though... i dont really feed my tank at all, just half a silverside to the anemony once a week or so. i think the nutrient load in the tank is slowly going down, but its taking time...
I just use one of those clip on lights-~$10-from depot with a 65w screw in spiral compact flourecent. I also dose iron to the tank for the macros. seems to do the trick and the cheto growth continues to amaze me. I think a kicked up version that I have heard of is to get one of those lights of america fixtures-~$40- from depot. they are used as flood lamps and have a pretty good kick from what I understand. so far havent seen the need to switch over though.
