Posted on October 13, 2010 by Clinton

Looks like the cyano disaster is finally subsiding.  After pushing a couple good doses of Boyd Chemiclean, and using the turkey baster liberally, the cyano is subsiding.  I also made a minor adjustment to one of my Koralia 1 pumps … Continue reading →

iPhone 4.0 = more pics and vids on the way!

The green algae dust storm

Posted on May 1, 2009 by Clinton

Green algae blanket. That’s the only way to describe what was building on the sand in my display. I tried siphoning, some chemical dosing, but in the end it would always come back in a couple weeks. I figured it … Continue reading →

Got the new 14k pheonix 150w bulb installed over the weekend.  Didn’t really take any pics because it was so easy to take care of.  I also got some of my frags cleaned up and gave them a Revive bath.  … Continue reading →
