So tried and tried again, velvet just wont go away.
Gave up, tore down DT, sand and rock tossed out into the sun, will not use either again. All equipment soaking overnight in bleach/tap water mix. Tank is outside on my deck running with bleach circulating. It turns the algae white and it peels off instantly. Question is with that ****** velvet how long to run the tank with bleach'? My plan was to run it 24 hrs, fresh water rinse a couple times, add some dechlorinator and run it again for 24 hrs. Then completely drain the tank and let it air dry completely in the sun. Tank back inside, new sand, new uncured liferock and new water obviously. :Hoping this nuked any parasites, asking for input and suggestions. Thanks
