Well I ripped off the UV I put temp in display. It wasn't doing a thing. With my Dino's that I have. It was taped in front of tank. Hard to get in my tank without bumping tube and causing a disaster. I still have my uv in sump. But 3Rd day dosing silica. 12ml a day. Dino's are bad in sand in middle of the tank just gonna keep dosing and keeping po4 above .1
my tank looks clean but the GHA and sand. Sand is all brown. Like the Dino's. Still looks bad. But took 3 samples of the sand. In most brown dense areas. Here is some photos of the slides. Even though my sand looks bad. It may be a success. Dosing silicates for about 5 days now. Started waste away yesterday. But in the slide. Alot of diatoms. And scarse Dino's. It used to be a slide full of them. I plan on dosing silicates and the waste away for another week. Then I might slow down silicates and let them burn out depending on the slides at the time.
Picture is a current photo of my tank right this second. And the slides are taken from the second right this second.
3 slides. I still see Dino's. So I still have them. But scarse
Thanks to @taricha for silicate reading and everyone else. If didn't work for these at all.
@taricha any idea when I should start to drop silica dosing and see if Dino's stay out? I won't be able to make that decision myself. Lol I need sometime to make it for me lolol
