Tank Entry

Sorry if this is a double post. I had a post all ready to go then I accidentally navigated away from the site and poof the post was gone.

Anyway, as I've posted previously, I'm really making an effort to get the hair algae under control in my 29 so it doesn't get transferred to the 75. To those ends I've changed the type of food I'm feeding from Ocean Nutrition Formula TWO Marine Pellets to Rod's Foods Original (wanted the Fish Only but the only "lfs" (1 1/2 hours away) ...

Luckily, they seem to continue to be realitively happy under the lower wattage t5s.

You'll have to excuse the hair algae. Though I'm finally beginning to win the battle, there's still more than I would like ...

For some reason, I can grow green stuff well.
