Thanks all for the kind words.
I stated a maintenance dose of NOPOX 2 weeks ago, which is 5ml a day for this tank. Water looked murky and the clowns had stopped laying eggs so I figured I might try some carbon dosing to maybe drive the TDS down a bit. Water cleared quickly and skimmate stinks, both expected. Clowns started laying eggs again, might be a coincidence, but acro colors have gone up a couple of notches. All in all very good results so far, I just have to make sure not to go overboard and starve the tank.
The slimer is the first to react to improved water and has started one of it's massive growth spurts. Simply an amazing acro, but it's BIG and getting BIGGER fast.
