Ugh..... What a mess!!!!!

Ok ... So we have a 30 breeder set up , and I think I rushed getting it done. Everytime I look @ it I just see where I went wrong ... Bad Cyano (sp?) , Algae breakout , Micro bubbles , and now I think i'm seeing what I think are Nudibranches ... SOOooooooooo Frustrated right now .... I'm thinking about taking it down in the next day or two and Re-doing the whole thing before it gets even more out of control. This is the tank that has all my Zoos , My Caps , Clam , 2 Anglers , and Fuzzy-Dwarf Lion. I guess what i'll do is temporarily move everything to my empty cube , do all the plumbing and everything , dip everything before putting it back, take my time and see if I can't do it right this time ... I know also that alot of my problems are coming from not having a decent Ro unit...So I have to seriously look into getting one , but probably wont be @ the earliest the middle of the month. I'm so aggravated right now ...I know im just ****ing and moaning but I fugured you guys wouldn't mind me venting about my sloppy tank .....

Sorry to hear you're going though a rough spot, think of it as a learning experience! If you need any empty aquariums to set up temp. housing let me know. If you didn't want to tear everything down Algone should get that cyano and algae under control.

Eric, sorry to hear about your problems, You knowIhad the red slime in my 55 well I turned the skimmer off and dosed it w/ slime remover for several days then a big water change and turned the skimmer back on, I did siphon some of the slime up as I was draining the water

So i'm fresh water dipping %50 of my zoos right now and after about 5 mins i've seen @ least 10-15 of these little bugs drop off. My only hope is that the zoos do ok after the dip and that I don't transfer anything harmful to my 55 that is doing farely well ..... Any comments/suggestions?

I guess the 30 is not running so they couldn't go back in there? It seems they would be easier to monitor in a BB tank.

Yeah the 30 is the tank they were in , and as soon as I can get everything out and "cleaned" up a bit I plan on taking it apart and redoing some of the things I see as problems. Hopefully this all works ... If not I may be tempted to just consolidate and run fewer tanks in the future..
