Agree- matter of preference. Sometimes I clean mine, sometimes I don't!Has never bothered me - probably 2 years without cleaning mine. Guess I think of it about the same as all the minerals that collect on the inside of your home water lines - leave it alone

Mixed drinks? :grin2:

I used to get so frustrated trying to stir things by hand that I felt like I needed a couple drinks, but had no time for them, because I was busy stirring.
Now I don't have to stir, so I don't feel the need for the drinks... but what else am I going to do while the machine does the stirring?? :grin2::grin2:

Just messing around with some image editing...
The problem with pictures this clear is it allows us to see your algae (BBA) better. :laugh2:
Not sure what plant (Madagascar Lace) that is just behind on the right, but Its showing just a hint of algae! Just saying.....
BTW I edit all my algae out before posting!

Half of me thinks it's kinda "cheating" to go and edit my pics. But if I'm just compensating for my terrible picture taking by making them look more like how my eye sees the plants in real life, then maybe it's not really "cheating"...
It's funny you mention that... there have been many times I've only noticed algae on my plants after seeing it in pics haha. But I don't want to edit it all out so that my tank looks nicer than it actually is. If I've got algae, it's going to be in my pics
After all, isn't it our imperfections that make us beautiful?? :grin2::grin2:

I joke about editing algae out! What you see in my pictures are unaltered pictures taken from my Iphone, transferred to Flickr and thrown up on the TPT.Half of me thinks it's kinda "cheating" to go and edit my pics.

I actually take zoomed in picture to see the algae within my tank.

About two weeks ago I started using RO water in my tank. I've been doing water changes with 100% RO water, remineralized with my own mix of CaSO4, MgSO4, and KHCO3, and have dropped my KH from 7 down to 3.5. I didn't adjust my CO2, so now my pH drops to 6.3, whereas the max drop before was 6.6.
Just for fun I took a look at the KH/pH/CO2 chart on the barrbook and was surprised to see my CO2 value to be almost identical to what is was before (7KH, 6.6pH vs 3.5KH, 6.3pH). Maybe a smarter person would have assumed that was the case? Haha

I'm currently just using a ball valve instead of the float valve, but when I open it up again to make more RO water, my output TDS starts off skyhigh at like ~100ppm. It drops back down to ~7-10ppm after a minute or so. Is this normal?
