Boss you could always hook up a sump to it. :) 20 tank with a 15 sump. and just have the skimmer and a return pump. I bet you would have NO problems with that tank. maybe a lack of nutrients.....

ok went to my LFS yesterday, after reading some very good links from everyone THANKS !!!! - -im going to attack this crap on multiple fronts.........

i bought a product called "algone" it had some good reviews on reefcentral and i bought some liquid magnesium.........also a very long indepth post on reefcentral - - -so i put the algone in the filter last night -its a little pouch like a tea bag and it says to keep submersed and change every 5 days, on top of that the RC post says to over dose the tank with magnesium and bring the levals above 1550 to kill hair algae..........i dont have a mag test kit so im going to "slowdose" in conjunction with the algone and give it a couple weeks

on top of that i added 4 golfball sized turbo snails that went ape shit when i put em in there..............looks like "horton hears a who" with Skag zeroturn mowers in there .....WOOOHOOOOO !!!!!!!!!!!!! they all seem pretty sedentary this morning - -prolly stuffed themselves to much

we shall see what happens..................thanks again for all the help and support

lol yous phos-zorb bags for about 3 days in you sump change them out for new after 2 week put a phos ban reactor on it bum no more hair alge trust me lol i have had more hair alge then you can even comprhend. i was pulling out 3 puond ever 3 weeks for almost 2 years. and had 5 difrent alge morphs.

i believe thats the next step...............the magnesium seems to be discoloring the algae so it may be slowly dieing off, the snails have all died, don't know why, and i can't report to the algone packs as i don't see that their doing anything yet

Lion,
ive used phospads and chemipure {regular and elite} with no visual difference, does a phsban reactor make that much difference?

i'm beginning to wonder if the culligan "RO" dispenser is really ro, or if they've just allowed the membranes to expire and im actually useing city water in there, ive got and ro filter i just need to get it set up

phosban is an awsome product have you been testing for p04 or just thinking it is all right and when you git ride of all the p04 it wont nesiserly kill the alge it just stops it from growing you need to pull it out. as i poseted befor i went from 3 pounds every 3 weeks to about a half a handfull because of the phosban. pluse with out it growing you snals will have time to eat it. and dont worry about loosing your snail thay will die. alot of snails cant handel temps above 82 and it is summer time. i dont know about you but i dont have a spair 600$ for a chiller. anther thing mag lvls watch them closly it will kill shit above 1800 ppm try and keep it at highest around 1500 to 1600ppm.
