What kind of protein skimmer is that? It doesnt sit in the sump does it?

Thanks

[ZZMann33]

@jaguars4263 yes it does. I made a video on it. Check it out..

[jaguars4263]

Are you useing RODI water? The algae loves the phosphates. Good Luck MAN!!

[ZZMann33]

@jaguars4263 yes I do use RODI water... It looks alot better now.. You have to look at my later videos. Thank you!

hello man, i have one tomato and one yellow tang(tang has one week in my tank) i want to add i two weeks a blue tang! what suggestions can you give me for blue tang? i have one year and 6 months with my tank! thank you

[ZZMann33]

@Richmexicogdl Whats a tomato? Fish? How big is your tank and how big is the yellow tang and the blue tang your going to get? It all depends on that.

[TheSqueaky71]

How is your NO3 and PO4? That will not help with the algae

[mofoglenn333]

i believe you should research an algae turf scrubber....... awesome setup, i enjoy your vids.

[CandyFishRave]

*^_^*

[ZZMann33]

@CandyFishRave Thanks, appreciate it!

[99ronmarsh]

[Diegotank100]

hey man you should keep the tank lights on during the day and keep the refuge lights off during the day and on at night so the ph dont drop

[ZZMann33]

@Diegotank100 ok, thanks for the tip. :)

Xenia is sensitive to changes in the water do you ever see them just shribbling  up

[zacguitarshreder12]

you should look at getting biopellets they remove nitrates and phosphates.

[newyorksteelo]

Wow man, your hair algae troubles just wont budge. Glad to see another video up. Looks amazing after the hard work. Thumbs up :)

[Smokkedandslammed]

Also just a thought, have you ever considered looking into an algae turf scrubber? I hear once they get going they work pretty good

[DaytonaRoadster]

that stuff is so hard to get rid of

[MriBackup]

Now thats a show tank

[wiifan62]

mike looks great! long time no see. talk to you soon!

Brian

[ipadhacker2]

The xenia will always tell you when the water changes

[ZZMann33]

@ipadhacker2 oh? and how is that?

[ipadhacker2]

That's cool but the up and down changes can have a effect and they can be alot of money I found nod on cl for $150 now my tank is stuck at 75

[ipadhacker2]

Do you have a chiller it might be time for one with the lighting you have

[ZZMann33]

@ipadhacker2 Chillers are very expensive. Plus the tank nerer gets above 80. usually 73 to 80..

[ipadhacker2]

About time I been waiting on a new video

[Phantomg23]

try using gfo if u already arent, it removes phosphates, which is basiccally wat keeps algae alive

[ZZMann33]

@Phantomg23 Its more the lighting. I do have that, and it doesnt work so well for me.. Thanks though!

[COLBY611]

I love these vids :D

[ZZMann33]

@COLBY611 Thank you!

[Smokkedandslammed]

Hey hey, been waiting for another video! I remember the tank was this bad and the xenia was just as rampant in the CUC videos, but that toadstool is fricken huuuuge! Still one of my favorite youtube tanks and your videos always crack me up, awesome job man!

[ZZMann33]

@Smokkedandslammed Thanks man!!! I appreciate it!
