CUC:Algae Balancing- When? How? How Fast?

[Euphylliaphyle]

Waiting is hard, especially when we all want one of those sparkly tanks we see in kids. ( I think they scrub clean and filter like crazy before taking their pics. Then proclaim, "Bah, not much effort just on autopilot.")

Thanks. I knew patience was a big part of this hobby. Guess I wasn't prepared for how much patience is needed! Plus, there is no solid parameter or metric that tells you "You need more CUC!" That's what this hobby needs - a CUC-O-Meter!
