Kalk drip innitiated...
- Thread starter RoachBug
- Start date
Well between the kalk drip and addition of the Euro-Reef skimmer, the tank is looking nice and shiny clean. I would assume the clearer looking water is attributed to the skimmer. Now if the new bulbs would finally arrive, my 3 pronged ANTI ALGEA attack could finally begin.
May be wishfull thinking but I think the cyno-like (though dark green instead of red) bacteria that was covering the sand has started to retreat!:mixed: I am thinking that I will pick up a toothbrush and scrub away some of the angel hair this weekend. I freaking HATE algea, wether it be slime or hair!
I will keep you posted on how the attack fares once I finally am able to commence it. Untill then.....:bum:

Had a real nasty bout with cyno a.k.a. "red-slime" about a year ago. *Looking back I believe it was in large part due to the fact that the skimmer I had never actually worked correctly. I ended up dosing with Red-Slime, which took care of the problem for quite a while (no ill effects on the fish/corals). That treated and took care of the outbreak but did nothing for the cause. I started having another outbreak a couple of weeks back, this time the cyno is dark green in color but still the same properties as the red. I decided to try and correct the actuall problem this tiem around...1) new bulbs 2) new skimmer 3) kalk drip 4) added a powerhead for increased flow.
Just a few days running the new skimmer, PH, and kalk drip, appear to be having some effect. As stated int he last post the cyno on the sand bed appears to be retreating a tad. The skimmer has been pulling out a ton of goop. Should have the new bulbs any day, which I think will also help quite a bit. Fingers are crossed! :rollface:
