It's interesting stuff alright, but I've been so busy the last few days trying to add to my new Bakki Shower web page, that I haven't contributed much to this! ;-) Have been watching though, and thought that all was going well without me being needed ;-)



Mike, as for the algae growing on the media... this isn't a problem, as only the very top exposed parts of the very top layer will go green. If you picked up one of these pieces to look at it, only about the upper 30% would be green, the underside would be spotless, as would the layers underneath. Also, strangely enough, as the media gets older, it actually runs cleaner. It seems common for the top layer of the top tier to get very dirty initially, but after about 12 weeks, it seems that the bacteria starts working on this, and gets rid of it.



Mike.
