4. your water is toxic, you have to use the newspaper suggested to get
that slick
off the top and change some water. a UV is fine for getting rid of
algae,
but if you

just looked,, film is 95% gone, now.
but i do seem to see a lot of string algea running down m waterfall/stream
than before...



arent getting rid of the nitrates with algae or plants, you gotta do
something else,
like water changes. you dont say you tested for nitrates.

*i jusT ordered a nitrate test kit,,, what should it read


ok nitrate level is '0'
