I can tell u know being a former carpet installer your carpet in that area is fried bro. The backing that the carpet is weaved into breaks down very easy when wet and if it got soaked and sat there for days and dried on its own can almost guarentee the backing is shredded.

If ur going.to use an algae scrubber its best to build ur sump around it. Come check out my sump and scrubber.

Really. Why?

Cause out of the many pellets one the market he is the only one that tells you were they come from, who makes them, what was the process to get them made, and they are marine certified and biodegradable. Plus I have not seen a bad product from dr tim ever.
