How small are they compared to a skunk cleaner?

How small are they compared to a skunk cleaner?

They are about 3/4". I was told the fish understand they are beneficial.

Dino genocide

Also, I just got a phosphate reading....


8 hours after dosing .03ppm! It’s at a nice .07ppm.


I think it’s from the Dino’s dying so I’ll have to see if the rock is still binding phosphates once it’s cleared out.

Also, this rock was in a tank for two months before being added to this tank. I bet that may cut the time to saturation.

Pretty happy right now.

Dumb question but am I just supposed to put this white tube running from my skimmers collection cup back into the sump? It gets clogged with bubbles sometimes causing the skimmer to overflow.

No, it is meant to go into a container to collect the skimmate, so you don't have to empty the cup so often. Either that, or just plug the drain in the cup. I use an Avast waste collector - or did when my tank was running. That is it on the left of the picture. Follow the tube back to the skimmer.

Shoot, I’ve been dumping dirty water back into my tank this whole time

Afraid so.

Mine seems to just be letting out a ton of water. It would drain my tank in two days or so with how much it’s releasing.
