My Tank Thread
My Aquarium Showcase
Sump cleaned up.
My sump gorilla crab has been tearing open bags of chemipure elite and making himself a little nest. I thought the first torn bag was from it shifting under the algae scrubber outflow, but noticed a second one today. All bags removed, all mess siphoned out.
Popped some socks in all 4 spots to help polish the water up better after kicking so much around.
Scrubber isn't really producing algae, is producing some kind of nasty mold in the sump walls though with the kick around. Taking that offline for a bit to see what happens.
Pulled the filter roller as well since it can't keep up with the flow in that tank - it's a newer model than the one in the pony cube so next time I need to replace rolls I'll put the new one in and clean the old one up as a backup instead of letting it consume space and power outlets.
Refilled all my reagents.
Thinking about running vinegar on my empty dose head.
Need to find a lighting solution for that chamber of my sump... all of my sump actually... But wondering first if I want to put together a refugium down there since I got some space back.
