    I adjusted the skimmer over the weekend.... it seemed to help a bit. I think the DOCs may have got out of control as a result. We're going to do another water change and do a water sample at the LFS.... just to do some greater analysis. Details and pic coming soon!

    I have heard of a white algae bloom from dosing to much of a carbon source at once. like vodka dosing ect.

    It's not easy being green.

    thx Brian.... would not have considered it; never used one before. I see one of these hang-on "Green Killing Machines" out there. Anyone know much about these?

    If it is as green as it looks I'd say it's an algae bloom. If it was more white I'd think bacterial. Have you thought of tossing in some rotifers to feed on it? Just a thought.
