Figured out a way to at least temporarily wipe out all the hair algae in my tank. I took a tooth brush and scrubbed all the hair algae off my rocks. My tangs went nuts. Scraped off and all eaten in minutes. Now that its very short anywhere it's still on the rocks, my tangs, snails, and crabs are taking it out.

Strange that ur tangs wouldnt eat it untill it was floating around.

The Naso is doing very well. He apparently had never used an algae clip before. It took him a week or so to figure that out. The GHA had grown about an inch long and wavy. The only thing eating it was my sleeper banded goby. As soon as it was loose and in the water column it became open season. The GHA also looked like it was trying to die off from the roots up, so maybe it didn't taste as good *shrug*

Glad to hear the new addition is doing well!

Just noticed that about 500 ml of my EcoBak has been consumed, wow. About 1000 ml left in the reactor.

Sounds like a lot so soon.

Very nice. I'm sure your fishy friends will enjoy that!

Yeah it has the pressure gauge and the two TDS meters. 5 stage + RODI. I bought the drinking adapter version. So I also have a fixture for my sink and a tank.

 

[shellynjason]

Nice rodi system !

I think I have the same ( 5 stage plus) but I don't have the drinking adapter version and wish I would have gotten it - good choice.
