Some of you know me as a relative newbie... less than a year in the hobby... and that while I read RA constantly I rarely blog. I had a recent experience with a vendor that I just cant help but share with the group. Last summer we purchased an auto top-off kit from Aquahub, assembled and installed it per the enclosed instructions and it ran flawlessly for several months. Yea! No more manual topping off the 75G display and 35G fuge! Suddenly it stopped calling for water as evidenced ...
So today I decided to deal with the Cyano that started in my new frag tank that was connected to the system during the summer. I believe the initial outbreak was a combination of: 20 lbs of new sand and the new acrylic frag tank itself.
