QUESTION: best way to get the HA in the sand bed? My siphon doesn’t seem to pick it up since it’s stuck itself to clumps of sand
How it started: So back in December, I left my RODI unit outside and it froze and broke a canister. Took me over a month to fix that so I had not been doing water changes and just topping off with water from the grocery store, I just got a new light on the tank at that time too and I ended up with GHA and cyano.
Fast forward to last week, I fixed the canister and did a 20% wc, scrubbing and siphoning what I could.
Tomorrow it’ll be a repeat of last Saturday.
I’m hoping getting back to regular maintenance was the source of the problem. I have a small order of clean up crew coming to maintain the 125 too since I was lacking there.
Photo is from tonight. It was worse last week
