Floating Clumps of Flourescent Green Algae
Well, I just ordered a phosphate test kit, a HIGH nitrAte test kit,
something called Bio Denitrator (supposed to deal with the nitrAtes) and 2 gallons of the Pro-Line Phosphate Remover. And because I live (reasonably) close to AES, I should have it tomorrow when I get home from work. That should keep me busy for the weekend (grumble, grumble, grumble). I hope it works.

SNIP... lets treat this as an aside then... Do you know what your phosphate levels are? There are commercial products available that will remove phosphates from your water... in many cases they are prohibitively expensive, and many are some form of aluminum oxide (which may damage your Biofilter)... Kent Marine makes one called "phosphate sponge" which claims to bring phosphate down from 1 ppm to .05 ppm within a matter of hours... and not leach aluminum into the water. The cost is about $10 per 100 gallons. I wonder if GD knows... but it has always struck me that a good aggressive protean skimmer should work to remove the free floating varieties... |
