Ok I've been plagued with green hair algae and some red cotten ball astro turf crap
(sorry best way to describe it).
I'm going to try and make this short. I've been going nuts trying to figure what I'm doing wrong.
Here we go, last Wend. I did a water change and decited not to soak the food in
Selcon or garlic juice for a week and see what happens (frozen brine shrimp, formula 1 and
mysis and on occasion 2 small chunks of people worthy shrimp) .
End result is after a week the hair is not comming back like before and what is left
is turning brown, the red stuff is still there but I can't tell if it's more or less just yet.
this red stufff is a nightmare( no it's not cyno. already delt with that early on)
I'm going to make water tonight and do another water change tomarrow and try to remove as
much of the red as I can yet again.
Well thats where I am at this point, let me know if anybody wants an update next week
as to if I'm right or not.
