  6. How long can I leave my UV on for?

    Well it says that the max flow is 200 and im at about 180. I also have it come on about 8 hours. is that going to kill too much good stuff? And I still have benifichial stuff on my rock right? Will that still filtrate the water? And all that sand I have (4in in display & 6in in sump)?
  7. How long can I leave my UV on for?

    I got a sterilizer from my girl for the holidays and I read the directions but Im not all that sure how often to leave it on and if I need to tune down the flow going through it.

  12. Is my macro algee going bad?

    you might about it being to clean. Cause I've got a UV starilizer, skimmer for 120gal, sump with 6in sand bed and about 25lbs of rock, and a fluval 204 filled with poly filters. maybe it is just to much for the algee to grow. With all that, should I even bother with the algee?

    I am in santa clarita out side of LA. I went to a really reliable store, and the calurpa was really green and thriving for like five or more days.

I keep getting this stuff and it turns to this in a short time, then I take it out and buy more. Whats the deal? Is it lighting, Iron, PH, Nitrates...
  15. Is my macro algee going bad?

    I have all types of calurpa that seems to be growing but it is turning white. Is it going dead? If it was going asexual it would stop growing right? Also can I ad a little CO2 to help the plants like people do in fresh water tanks?
