reaper78 Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 the truth is that i was in the same situation previously and spent so much money on the distilled water from Pere Ocean when doing water change with salt mix, in stead i got more algae and cyano problem then ever . Maybe due to the pH flucuations i got Iwarna who save me the problem. Currently i used Pere Ocean distilled mix with SeaChem Prime to get rid of the Chlorine in it linked to my Deltec Kalk reactor as water topup hope this note can help you. Hi Bro, My colleague facing the same problem as urs now, algae problem.....hmmm looks like i really have to re-consider.

I'm sure you wouldn't want another 3 ft tank with just NSW in your living room.

Algae and cyano problems are not caused by PH fluctuations. They are normally caused by excess nutrients in your tank. You may want to read the article below on Cyano: http://www.algone.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=154:red-slime-algae-cyanobacteria&catid=36:saltwater-aquarium&Itemid=60 Secondly if you are using distilled water, then there is absolutely no need to mix seachem prime to get rid of the chlorine because there isn't any chlorine in distilled water.

The blue tubs have a cover so you need not worry about washing detergent getting into the tub.
