Just my Luck

Well, the Flourish is kicking the algae's ass all over the place. I'm not sure if I should be happy it's working, or pissed that I wasted all that time. The brown brush stuff is turning red and falling off, there is no green hair algae showing up on the new plant growth.

Of course, now that I've found the solution, I will be leaving for 2 weeks to go celebrate Christmas with my family. I hope the 30-gal can cope. Part of prepping them to get ready was to replenish the CO2, give them both a pretty good water change, drop some sizeable food blocks in, and pray.

I also got a timer for the light over the bucket that's holding all the cuttings I can't throw away. I topped off its water; presumably it will be able to take care of itself.
