I made another water change and will again tomorrow. Just going to try and beat this the old fashion way. I also have barely fed my fish in the last 2 days.
We may be dinosaurs. I tried fighting a 25 year sandbed crash in Jaubert Plenum, the “old fashion way”.
Started out with 8” sandbed and over a period of 12 months, siphoned out several hundred pounds of substrate with several thousand gallons. My back hurts from thinking back to it. A good friend, Timfish, told me to do it, but I didn’t do the most important thing that he also said to do. Energize your biofilter by feeding it. When food is scarce, the competive diversity in the tank most often favors the undesirable. If you feed your tank a desirable may awaken and graze on green cyno.
PS: I salute your Stewardship of the Light. After > 20 years of hooby forums, the knowledge & kindness on r2r is seen “far and wide”. Thank you for making that available.
For certain use UV.
