DIY UV is a bad idea. How are you going to shield the bulb? Where would you buy the correct bulb? Those purple ones they have in clubs and the...
As I am still unable to edit the first post in this thread, I would like to comment here regarding a few updates to the Algae Fighting Plan:...
Neons are known fin-nippers. The bigger the school, the less the chances of them picking on any fish. But once they settle, they tend to leave...
I fully agree a lot of algae problems are caused by low flow and under filtration. That is why I am doubling up on my cannisters. I think it is...
I have a spraybar from my cannister on the one end of the tak, about 5cm below the surface with the holes facing 45 degrees up. This creates...

OK let me update this. I have now had this stem in a small glass tank with water for a few days. I have been double dosing erythromycin every send...
Admins - why can't I edit my first post?
Refer to my thread I started here http://www.tropicalaquarium.co.za/showthread.php?t=1326 regarding ways to fight algae. I think many algae...
