Hi all ...
I did 30% water change, this time, with RO water and the diatom bloom had stopped but only for about 3 days . I see signs that it starts to "bloom" again ? Should I change the water again ? 40-50% ?
Or should I add some chemicals ?? I really want to get rid this this algae. the " mini white sand beach" (substract) looks much nicer without this brownish algea.
Reading :
Before water change: pH 8.2 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 10 ppm
After : pH 8.2 - 8.4 , Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, Nitrate 5 ppm

Safe glue ?
What types of glue, cement people use to glue the frags to the rock or sometimes to the glass ??
The CUC team working hard at night, sometimes kick the frags off the rock

Thanks.

Super glue gel will work with smaller pieces. On larger ones, I use a sandwich of superglue gel, 2 part putty epoxy, and superglue gel. The epoxy usually does not glue very well to the rocks at first, and the superglue helps hold it in place until the epoxy cures. The epoxy that most used was Aquamend, but Home Depot & Lowes don't stock it anymore. There is a JB Weld Water Weld that is used also. Works under water and is drinking water safe. Squirt the superglue on the frag, put on a ball of epoxy, squirt some more superglue on the epoxy and press onto your rocks, twisting the epoxy into the rock crevices.
Good luck!
