    freshwater and saltwater next to each other

    i would of thought that depending how close its is you might get osmosis and might find the mineral from the marine thank are finding their way in to the fresh water tank this can happen when tiny bubbles of air bursting at the surface of the marine tank send minerals airborne and thus landing...

    Liquid carbon bath

    could this be used to kill hair algae on moss? i had to rip a mesh of moss from one of my tanks as i had hair algae grow all over it, i separated the algae and the moss as much as i could and put the moss in a tub with water by the window sill to "grow More" but its all full of algae again

    so the plan of action to begin with would be 2 x a week 50% water changes, dose with Glutaraldehyde(might mix my own) with the glut do i apply it directly to the affected areas including anubias when the tank is 50% empty? and i will be buying these over the next few days, is there anything else...
