Also do u think a water change would help?

No but do at least a 30% water change after 10 days.

Will do. Really appreciate all the help. I’ve been stressing out about this.

Is it ok if a lot of it doesn’t dissolve completely?

I’ve been mixing for a while. It doesn’t really seem to be dissolving very well

Ya, it’s fine, it will have a lot of particles. I’m glad to help, I always keep it on hand after I had a huge loss over two years ago.

Sounds good. Just poured it all in the tank.

Just want to confirm, skimmer off and do water change in 10 days. Just want to make sure I’m doing it right haha. Never used this stuff before

Yep, you got this Parker!

No takers on the BRS code?

I just used h2o2 and shook it around and then rinsed it with ro water.

Thanks! What do you sterilize with?

I use vinegar and as hot of water as my hot water heater will put out, but I use glass mason jars so they can handle the cold/hot/cold.

 

[Reef Devils]

Yep, you got this Parker!

I’ll keep you updated on what happens

I don’t have any carbon. Only skimmer and reef mat. I should probably take the reef mat out

I don’t have a reef mat but I would believe it could stay in.

Reefmat is basically a sock replacement. It uses rolls of filter floss stuff.

Does he want the skimmer off or running with the cup removed to add air?

I just bought some DI resin the other day - it's probably the only thing I would have purchased.

Ok. I took the roll out just in case.

Yeah I don't buy much from them. If nobody wants it I'll just buy fish food. You can never have too much of that!

I was reading the instructions on the bottle and it say to repeat in 24 hours and do a partial water change in between. Should do that?

Good idea!

I don't like them, my personal opinion

What I told you is how I did it. It may not be the only way.

I turned mine off but if he doesn’t have good surface agitation I would go with what you suggested.

I mean, I could buy a return pump for the 8 gallon but convincing my wife I "need" to spend an extra $40 on a tank that's doing fine as it sits isn't a fight worth fighting right now I suppose.
