Paul looks good but is that hair algae on that middle rock?

 

[Prismaco]

I plan on getting a way larger one once I buy a house at the end of the year. Yeas that hair alge. I liked the look of it. I need some more rock though, but all the stuff around here is boring rock.

Tank looks good, but believe me, the hair algae may look kinda cool at first, but it won't when it covers everything in the tank and makes the water into a smelly green soup. Best to take care of it early IMHO. Hair algae isn't something that one can keep just a little of and have it under control.

Hmm....whats a good way to get rid of it ? Or should I just get more LR ?

rodi water snails, crabs, tangs, ( but not in a 37 gal) hermits

 

[Prismaco]

I have some blue leg and red leg hermits in there and couple bumble bee snails and a couple turbo snails. All together I have about 15-20 hermits. Would that do fine ? If it starts to spread and see that my hremits cant keep up should I just pull it out ?

[Guest]

that works as well,
do you use ro water?

 

[Prismaco]

I'll be getting some today hopefully. I know that when I went last time there was one that said "distled" Is that the one I should get ?

[Guest]

read the label it will say reverse osmis deionized water,

 

[Prismaco]

Ok, I'll be getting some today. I was using tap water and adding drops. Since I know what to get now, and made a note, I will be using that...Hopefuly see a big notice....

[Guest]

hey another idea
and a great investment is a ro/di unit. that way you can still use your tap water but it get all the nasties out add salt and your ready

 

[Prismaco]

I thought of that but $$ is tight right now and Safeway is right down the street. I plan on getting one in the future though. Hey thanks for all the info....
