OK that UV filter is absolutely glorious...my water hasn't been this clear since the first day I filled it and I am sure its even better now...I encourage everyone that has my problem to give them a try if they can afford it...best investment i have made yet...I am actually enjoying my fish again!!!

Hehe no Worries....Congrats on the swordtails btw...my big electric yellow is carrying...I am hoping they make it this time...I didn't have much luck with my peacocks...

Green water is exactly what I have been fighting...I have stopped turning on the light in the morning and only turn it on when I get home...the water has already started to clear up since putting the UV sterilizer on but its not 100% yet but it certainly seems to be helping!

I ended up getting one last night. I didnt really notice a change in the morning but I wasn't really expecting results over night...hopefully couple days it'll be all good...any idea how long it should take for 90 gal tank? The UV filter I got says its rated for 125 gal...

For the past month or so I have been fighting an algae bloom in my 90 gal tank...I have been doing frequent small water changes and have cut back how much I have been feeding them even though I don't think I feed them too much...the tank stays clean and I keep up on maintenance but I cant seem to resolve this. I am about ready to go out and buy a UV filter to combat it but I am wondering if anyone can offer any suggestions as it seems to be starting to affect my male peacock and one of my mbuna's... Any help would be appreciated!

Have you tested the water? I know a heck of a lot less than the majority of the people on this board but do you have another quarantine tank you could move them too until the water gets sorted?

Wow thats crazy...hopefully thats all it was... I love your avatar btw...hehe

We took him out rather quickly but he looked much darker than usual...Fins were fine and my wife only saw him 30 minutes before and she said they were all fine...I tested the water and its good...I have a HOB and canister filter in there with some lava rock, fossil stone, and tufa...I just..I dunno...Its been a bad 12 hours for me...sorry!

Last night I came home to find that one of my male peacocks was dead. This came as a total shock to my wife because no more than 30 minutes earlier she said he was fine. Everyone in the tank gets along fine and I am just wondering if anyone can suggest why this happened so I can try to fix it. I dont know if I can handle my tank dying right now.

Thank you very much!

I apparently have the same problem. Cheers

Wow thats freaking scary!!! Sorry about the loss but good that you can type to tell about it!!!

Very Carefully :P

Could you have found any more creepier photos as examples...hahaha

These were some great tips...Thanks... If I can add I also found that taking off auto focus helped me a lot... I am using a Canon 30D... Currently trying to capture my Flowerhorn parrots...If I get anything of interest I will post it...hehe
