Beautiful!

I see I’m not the only one battling GHA and bubble algae. :confused::rolleyes:

How long has your tank been setup?
Yeah I haven’t done anything against the hair algae yet but when I get back from vacation I’ll start on it. (Dad at home took the pic). My tank has been up about 6 closer to 7 months.

Will do.



Also will do. I’ll just keep it up with 2 water changes every week.
What you appear to have are dinos 2 water changes a week are likely stripping the nutrients from your tank and allowing them to grow. I'd do 1 every other week. Sometimes less is more...

What are you 3?? : )

I could totally get bribed with delicious treats if he agreed to make it home Depot instead!
Home Depot here is a huge pain to get into. And there's no ice cream nearby. He wanted help picking out a new hall light, I wanted to read a book on the couch.

Agreed man. Could have sworn i seen some bubble algae as well as gha. 5 micron sock changed my life. Soon as I stopped doing water changes and filtering through the sock it all started coming together for me.
