Thanks Jason, I feel more confidant the I got rid of it. I'm pretty sure that it was mustard algae that I had and I think it is gone. What would be a safe level to keep my FC at while I am away, with a CYA of 40? By safe I mean a level that would keep the algae from coming back. Would going...

silly question but what is SWG?

Thanks for the info. I will go buy some bleach tonight. Do you know why there would be limescale on my sheer decent wall? Is it because of the CYA? I bought something to get rid of it, but am I fighting a losing battle :?: Will I always have it no matter what I do?
