OK. The three PWC’s that you did when you got home from work could be something. That might also be a time when more folks around the condos are taking showers/baths, cleaning dishes, etc., so there could be a LOT more sediment getting stirred up in the boiler during that time period. […]

The thing I don’t understand is why didn’t I get this algae bloom 3 weeks or so ago when I first set the tank up and cycled it? I had fish in it then, and a decent bioload I would assume. It didn’t have a green water problem until I added these […]
