im not a pro, im just asking the questions i think one of the more knowledgable guys would ask. If you didn't need a prescription to buy it then id question the purity.

First question is how long in CP? You sure one of your sponges or filters have poly pad?

Are you using biospira or bacteria products? If so, it may degrade CP.

That does look like velvet to me.

Try a freshwater dip, see if any small sesame seed looking things come off. Use a dark bucket so you can see.

You should do anyway for velvet. I’m guessing your cp was removed or not potent enough (not pure enough). I’d use 80 instead of 60 since we cannot accurately measure it anymore.
