I was wondering if you had any idea why running the water through UV light made such a difference?
If you look at the pics when it was white and cloudy, that is the dead algea floating in the water column. The UV killed all the algae, and then the carbon and water changes filtered it out. It's actually clearer than it was before the bloom... now I just have to figure out how to hide the UV feed pump and line. . . And get more driftwood!!! and also figure out what to do with the 30+ baby mollies i have in there.....Originally Posted by selster
