Wow, what a difference! It's good to see your fish made it through.

My neck kind of hurts now, hahaha

Very nice! gotta love the uvs. Did you have a nitrate problem causing the algae or is your water high in silicates/phosphates? I assume the tank gets a lot of light also

Looks much better

How did you get it "secret of the ooze" green to begin with?

 

[DIDYSIS]

Looks great. Any other changes made to the tank or just that?

thanks guys... im pretty sure that the cause of the green water was from phosphates in my tap water on top of the tank being near a window lol...but soon i think im ganna invest in a RODI water filter to get rid of the phosphates in the tap water also because i want to turn one of my saltwater tanks into a reef tank ...

Nitraghosts or nitragons (ion exchange resins) take phosphates out of tap water and nitrate at same time but the speed of refil and recharging is a pain.

Rowaphos is a good product and can be added to the sump or simple reactor.
