  1. Wow' date=' getting quite the collection! You are quite the addict! Nice zoa collection I saw red hornets, blue hornets, pink zippers, Sunny d's, Goobstoppers. I bet some of them are from the growouts we did in the past. Nice to see things continue on and thrive! Thanks for the updates![/quote']

  3. I snapped some photos, I am doing tests on my water as we speak. I will have to take a sample of my RO water somewhere to have the TDS looked at.

     

    As of now it looks like my nitrates are higher than normal. They are at 10 PPM which is higher than normal for my system. So I will start there.

     

     

    Its just growing out of control. Its crazy how fast it is growing. Manual removal does nothing. It grows back within a day. I need to find the source of nitrates. I wonder if it is because I switched over to pellet food within the last month.

  4. I seem to have some type of algae outbreak in my aquarium. I dont know why. I think it may be something in my water. I use a RO/DI unit but the filters have turned a brown color for some reason in the last month. The system isnt very old but i guess I may need to swap them out.

     

    I clean out my sump and skimmer regularly to reduce waste and nutrients. I dont have a tendency to over feed and it seems like I cant get rid of the algae outbreak. I keep manually removing it but it seems to grow back quicker and quicker. I only have the lights on for 8 hours a day. I use LED's. I dont know what to do to get rid of this hair algae or whatever it is.

     

    Any suggestions? I'm thinking I need to swap out my Ro filters but Not sure. This is the first time Ive experienced an outbreak like and I have had the system up and running for more than a year.

  5. I listed the specs for the skimmer. I'm not sure how much anyone would be willing to pay so I listed a price for the whole setup if you would like me to piece out the skimmer I would be up for it for a reasonable offer. Just let me know what that is. I just need to get rid of the stuff and get some extra cash

  6. As you know, having babies are not cheap and I could use the money right now. I am moving into a smaller place and I need to sell the equipment I have been collecting to set up my dream setup.

    I have the coralife Pure Flo but the replacement membrane and filters are almost as much as a brand new unit so I decided maybe I should try a different unit. I'm assuming a member on here has to of used this one at one point
