Hello, Geezer coming back to this forum. Paul B

Griss, I agree. Most of the time I can't see them either and it is just on this site. I am on 5 other sites and it is no problem but If I click on that "X" thing, it shows up. I know they told me my files are to large but I am to old to try how to fix that just for this site so I will just put up some pictures and if they don't work, just make believe you can see something that looks like what I am talking about.

Hmmm, didn't know about clicking the X thing. Just tried it and the picture shows up, that's really weird.

I have found when taking pictures with my phone (iPhone) if I hold the phone upright, the pictures always load. If I turn the phone horizontal, I get the message that the file is too large.

That pic is hosted on photohbucket and not here. I copied the link and tried to insert a photo with the image link function. I see the pic until I post the reply. Then I get the big X

This is what I get if I copy the link to Pauls little x

All the links work if you click on them. The pic opens in a new window.
The machines are working hard to make our lives better.

Like I said, I am too old to worry about it or try to figure it out. It's not that important to me.

So reading here and there, you tried 30 micron and 5 micron pleated filter inserts and the 5 worked the best?
I am seeing 1, 5, 20 and 30 micron in 24 inch pleated sediment filters.

Sometimes, like yesterday when I am just sucking out dead algae, I just use the pleated filter with no powder.

Some of my Waspfish. Very cool.

As I said, now my tank is going through a really severe hair algae cycle. I wish I would get some hair on my head.

I have been sucking it out with my DIY diatom filter without adding the diatom powder. Hopefully, in a few weeks it will all be out and the tank will be pristine again.

Thats all hair algae in the bottom and it is dying in droves. I could open a sod farm.
