Again, thanks guys. I'm learning alot. I have recently discovered that i might need a protein skimmer (thanks for the suggestions). I really "dont have the time/too lazy" to make a once a week water change every week. I think that is the root of most of my ammonia/algea problems. Plus the UG filter.
I use regular tap water (city water) for refills/changes. The ph seems to be perfect straight out of the tap and the RO units seem to be a big hassel so i never really read up too much about them. As far as the undergravel filter, that is the first problem i want to deal with and would like some input on how to do this without killing everything. I have a 29 gallon tank that i could use to transfer everything to while i redo the 55 but its not setup and i would need to cycle it plus i dont have strong enough lighting to use on it unless i use the 48" light with some kind of hovering setup. Thanks again guys
