My Tank Thread
So no real updates to report but I did realize that with all the stuff going on with the new tank (and life in general) I have been severely neglecting my existing tank. I admit it. This was all my doing, or not doing, depends on how you look at it. I am normally really good at testing every week, or at the least every other week. I have been fighting hair algae for a month or so now. Nothing crazy just a couple patches here and there. Pulling out manually. But last we my nem split which was odd because it had only split in the past because I had fed it. And I hadn't fed it. Then I noticed something last night that was not good. Green cyano or what looks like it from the searches I did. It was late last night and nothing could be done then so I waited till this morning to deal with it.
This morning I tested the tank and had .2 po and 25 nitrate. My alk was in the basement as well at 4.7. So mixed up some fresh salt water and did a 20g water change and added a bit of kalk to the top off. Tomorrow I will test everything again and do another 20g change and same verse on Wednesday. We will see where we are at then since that will hopefully bring things back in line. Now I have to go order some more salt. Never a dull moment. Like I said I take full responsibility for this just glad I caught it in time.
