    Too much filter?

    Is the Cascade 1000 too much filter for a 20 gallon tank? It cycles 265 gph, and comes with a spray bar, so im hoping that it will make a big difference in flow/nutrient distribution. If it is too much id go for the 700 at 185 gph. Cascade 1000...

    How to get rid of algae on fluorite?

    So far I've cut my lighting schedule down to 10 hours, ive ordered dry ferts and a new 55 watt 6500k bulb. I've pretty successfully done a DIY yeast system with two bottles, changing one very week. Ill do that as soon as my bulb and ferts are here. Now i just need some more plants ;)

    How to get rid of algae on fluorite?

    The fish load is lower, i turn the light off for an hour in the middle of the 12 hours its on for, and many water changes. Ill also be upping the plant load once i remove the algae from the substrate. Its kind of a green fuzz coating each piece.

    How to get rid of algae on fluorite?

    Hi everyone, A while ago I let my planted tank get a little out of control. Now im starting over with my plants, but I still need to get algae off of my fluorite.
