    Do I need Neptune Display Module?

    My old Neptune display module died (no backlight at all). I am wondering if I need to buy a new one which cost $100+ now. I have been using Fusion app on my iphone. Only time using this display was when phone app was unable to connect due to network error (which dont happen often anyways).

    Hair Algae and Recommended Siphon Tools

    My 150 gallon tank is developing hair algae. Like to try more often water change and manual siphon of the substrate to remove excess dirt build up. What siphon tools or equipment set up do you recommend? Do I throw away any sand siphoned out? Thanks!

    Ah, I thought it should shut off right away when reservoir is dry. Pump ran about 1-2 min dry this morning. I guess no issue then. Thanks!
