Greg's 75g

[Enigma]

That is one ugly crab! Glad to see that you caught it.

[FishyFishy!]

Yeah that thing is nasty. Was it a Gorilla Crab or something?

EDIT: Now that I actually look at it, I'm not sure thats a Gorilla crab. But an Ugly SOB none the less.

Ya, not a Gorilla
It was hairy, but not tarantula hairy

He met his new buddy this afternoon



I figured it's only fair, since he ate the sea hare alive

I grabbed a few Strawberries while I was there ... can't hurt

Did some algae scrubbin' tonight
I turned off the return and hooked up an XP2, then I went to town with brushes
This is what I am dealing with



And after a couple hours of scrubbing and filtering



I made a couple accidental green birdsnest frags - clumsy

Next weekend I will start transferring the first fishies from QT
I'm still trying to get the Bangaii to eat pellets, but the Clown and PJs love them, so they get to go into the DT first

try peroxide dosing for the algea may help you

[gregzz4]

I've looked into that, and it's been suggested before, but if I don't filter out all the dead algae, it'll just release the PO4 back into the water, won't it ?

yes scrub scrub away dose with peroxide right after.. and a bit every day its how i killed it all in my 50g.. then i stopped and i spent 8 hours friday night scrubbing again.. ppond ppl do this as well too.
