effort in clearing up hazy water... will this do?
"linda mar" wrote in message ... Hi Kush, what about the stuff accumulating under the plates? is it ok to leave those there? my tank is sitting on a wooden stand, so I can't see under the tank, but I was cleaning the UGF uptake tube using the bottle brush since I was clearing the intake of the powerheads anyway (brown slimey stuff that accumulated on the intake was clogging it a bit, and while I was at it, I decided that the otos won't get to the algae growing inside the tube, so...), and the suction the brush made drew up a lot of the brown fluffly stuff from under the plate... I assume there is more where those stuff came from... snip The stuff under the plates is only likely to be a problem if you shut off the UGF without cleaning it out and develop a anaerobic environment (no oxygen) that leads to H2S and trouble. DIY CO2 is really simple. I just installed one, granted I don't have a good control on the injection rate, that goes in tomorrow, but It is working water is fine. I just have to use a air bubbler to keep the CO2 level from going overboard. I've had plants grow over and inch in two days. Bob |
