gonna go check Amm right now. Water change will need to wait a few. I still need to break down the salt tank and rinse some more. I cleaned with bleach and rinsed the other night then let it sit 2 nights to dry.

Had me worried about ammonia so ran to check and reads 0.
I lied about the carbon though @fishguy242 :( I pulled the bag from the other tank but not the 120. I just pulled it from the sump.
Been in there since I dosed the vibrant Aug 24th. Think that could cause issue?
I can make some salt water in a brute if I really need to..

Hey Dief its always good to keep UV on hand. Bacterial blooms is where they shine the most and have totally eradicated anything ive ran into with 24-48 hrs. Can you source a UV? May be good idea after letting that slime hit the system.

One of these may be a decent option for the price point.
You dont need the 55 watt. Ive ran a small 32 or 40 watt second hand uv and bulb on my old 140 gallon total system. Ran that set up on my new tanks when I hit the cloudy water stage. A small one sitting in your sump recirculating water will do everything your needing it to do.
