Got a question for you guys, all my life ive ben using aquarium glass cleaner instead of your typical house products. I like the aquarium cleaning products as they "wax" coat the glass. No matter how well i wipe down the glass i just cant seem to get the cloudyness out. So then i tryd peroxide and BAM crystal clean glass, is this common sence or is there going to be any long term effect if i do continue to use it? Also would it react with silicone/abs/plastics/epoxys and wires?

I am using a vinegar, water solution. works really well and yes it smalls for a minute but cleans the glass.

My naso tank decided to have a big picnic today and wokeup to almost half the bubble algae gone in my tank thank god! From the looks of it his mouth is only so big that hes eating the small bubbles but ripping the whole clusters off

I use vinegar and ro sometimes but my house smells like it for weeks + my girlfriend wants to kill me so there has to be a better way!

Looks like what I used to get out of my last tank. I've been trying very hard to keep it out this time.

Lol unfortunantly no matter what i do or how hard i try. Coral qt/dipping/ripping off plugs ill still manage to get something. Dont care much about algae, my tanks like 8 months old so its still a baby. Eventually everything will be eaten or will be removed but on the otherhand if its bryopsis,pest, or dino then ill have to take action

Put a touch of her perfume in it, or even better find out what cologne she like and that will kick up things when she get home (hint old spice will not work). Or even better a natural perfume that will not hurt the tank, like citrus. The blue brand of window cleaners is basically vinegar, ammonia, and something to make is small good. boil some cinnamon stick in water, run it through a coffee filter to strain the stuff out and bam @Sabellafella cinnamon spice aqua glass cleaner. your catch line "keeps the glass clean, and the the girl friend happy"

Tested my calcium with 5 different test kits and also doubles of redsea+salifert . Spent almost an hour doing all this because of a spook a brand new salifert test gave me. My old api and hannah calc dont make the cut because its either im doing the test all wrong every single time/a ph of 8.5 is messing it up/ or they both just dont work correctly. I would do a video, maybe i will but not right now, i just wanted to tell you guys the results of everything before i send my test out to triton.
Salifert 1- 490
salifert new .2- a full syringe plus .2mls
Red sea 1- 455
Red sea 2- 420
Elos- low 450 high resolution 440
Hannah - 500
Api- stopped counting

Long await my triton results. I usually use nyos but i let a buddy of mine borrow it for his majano wond
I dont use the api, i dont use hannah calc so if anyone local (by me) wants them pm me.

Got my wwc grafted cap, the last time i had one, one color dominated the other witch "i think" was from the frag being mostly green dominant. Had someone pull some string to get equal color. You kno who you are thank you!
