HLLE has no affect on feces, it is strictly an external issue. The feces could be from the nori, what you don’t want to see are white feces.

K, thanks. I didn't notice the feces until after feeding the extra nori. And she has been tearing it up. But, I wasn't watching as closely before... so...

Greenish brown sums up my tang after nori.
Other than nori- what else have you added to diet ?

Also, @Jay Hemdal and @vetteguy53081, i did about a 50% water change tonight. Made sure temp, salanity, and alk matched. Everything went well and seems good. Just wanted to get out as much carbon dust as I could. Plan to do another this weekend.

Carbon dust removal is tough - it gets into the substrate and sits in the corners of sumps. You'll need to siphon those areas that you can reach during the water changes.

Ok, thanks. It's time for a sump cleaning, so was going to do that this weekend anyway. And I can vacuum the sand as well. Also, I have a diamond goby, so he keeps the substrate stirred constantly.
