Haha now tank glass filled with algae. Somemore it's those that cannot be scrapped off kind.

Just got myself a secondhand arctica chiller and a Skimz BR80.

Shall all them either tonight or tomorrow night.

Hmm.. Any idea why is my algae bloom so terrible despite me using RO/DI water. Somemore I use a close loop RO/DI process where the water is filtered till zero reading before I mix the salt in.

To be honest, I used it for a month until my bacteria can sustain my bioload... After that I removed it so it was more of a temporary fixture... During that one month, I did not even clean the glass at all.

Right now I clean my glass every 3 weeks to a month, and usually it's done because I'm bored...

Even though you are using RO/DI, you probably still have phosphates in the water column. Have you checked the levels?

Phosphates are generated from decomposition of organic matter, so I don't think it'll improve by cultivating more bacteria.

Should be high phosphate. I was thinking of getting Goodbye! PO4

=X shall think about how I can add in my phos remover.

Hmm.. On a side note. I have a feeling my spongebob set will have to go soon. My Yellow tang is nibbling algae off it and the next thing I see is the white naked resin. Hope the paint is not poisonous to it.
