Thread: LHA on frag plugs???

  1. #1

    Default LHA on frag plugs???

    How the hell do I get rid of it? It's only on 6 of the 30 or more frags I have but it drives me nutts. It's not spreading at all but it gets pretty long. I have been pulling them out to clean them but I want to put a end to it....

    I haven't tested my parameters, but I doubt that's even it, cause its just a few frags, not the whole tank.... And it's the same frags that were growing it in my nano... They even grew it in my DT but my tangs made quick work of it....


    Thinking about just refragging them to see what happens.. Any clues or advice on what to try.. I even tried the peroxide dip but it was a temporary fix...

    If you have tried the peroxide I would suggest go ahead with the refragging.

    Take a tooth brush with non-diluted peroxide and make sure not to get any on the frags.

    Be sure you rinse it well afterwards though. Last time I did this my toothbrush tasted like crud for a week.

    Well, at least you didn't say "Last time I did this my wife complained for a week that her tooth brush tasted like crud...".

    Glad to report most if not all is gone...... Changed the membrane to my RO unit, which brought my Tds back down to 0 and a placed a bag of chemipure elite in my sump which I think should take most of the credit.

    I am not embarrased for ppl to see it now, the ones that did said it wasn't bad but to me a little LHA can be unsightly..
