Question by 1quick1: Has anyone successfully conquered the fight with hair algae in a large fish tank?
I purchased a live plant for my 75 gal. fish tank about 8 months ago. It had what I thought was some beautiful algae on it. Sadly, it was hair algae and has since taken over the tank and ALL decorations. I have purchased Aquarium Pharmaceutical Algaefix and treat regularly but I am loosing the fight. Has anyone successfully conquered the fight with hair algae in a large fish tank? Please share the secret.

What aquarium filter would work best in this tank under these circumstances?
Question by Morgan: What aquarium filter would work best in this tank under these circumstances?
I have a tank that is 1′ by 2′ and about 16″ deep. I also have an animal in it that produces a lot of waste, but is extremely stressed nether heavy water flow, and as it stands even with the filter, I’ll have to do partial water changes every week.It isn’t EXACTLY a fish, it’s an axolotl, and it is quite common to have to do partial water changes every week, no matter how good your filter is.

Q&A: Is my 30 gallon tank safe on my tv stand?
Question by deathb4deny: Is my 30 gallon tank safe on my tv stand?
I have a tv stand that says it supports up to 92 lbs, and I have a 29 gallon tank on it right now. It’s not an entertainment stands, my dvd and bluray player are on shelves beneath, but the tv is above on the wall, away from the aquarium. I was told as long as I wear’t move the ramped it won’t matter, but I’m equitable really paranoid about it, there’s no other room in my room where I can put it, and the ramping is sitting on support beams if that helps, but I just desire to make certain that it won’t collapse in the near future. I’ve had the tank for almost 3 days, we filled it up half way when we got it, and put decorations etc in it today, and filled it up all the way. I guess my question is is this safe, or should I rearrange and make room for a stand?
Best answer:
Answer by Hunter Ellis
Water weighs about 8.5 pounds per gallon so your tank would weigh about 240 lbs not including contents inside I have my 20 on a tv stand but it holds over 300lbs

My aquarium heater broke in my nano reef tank how does it affect my tank chemically?
Question by benyuen420: My aquarium heater broke in my nano reef tank how does it affect my tank chemically?
I have a 12 gallon nano tank. The heater popped out of the glass encasement and doing bubbling noises. I unplugged and removed it but there seems to be a black chemical in the tube of the heater. Also my anemone and all my coral shrunk and all my fish are in shock. Is it a chemical problem and do I need to replace the live rock and live sand?
Best answer:
Answer by S H
The fish were probably shocked by the electricity when the heater cracked. The black chemic may be residual carbon from the interior if it burned, which is probably did. I don’t think it is a chemical problem, but the fish being harmed by an electrical current.Keep a close eye on everything. I assuming’t advise removing the live sand or shake until you know the tank will not survive. It is possible the inhabitants may bounce back. Was the heater UL listed? What type of heater was it? If I was topfin…it was only a matter of clocked until that happened. Visitherm, Aqueon, and hydor are good heater brands. I know visitherm has a lifetime warranty and they WILL replace a heater with a problem.Sorry that happened, I hope everything turns out alright
