Hi all,
I began dosing vinegar in hopes of lowing my nitrates (reading over 75 using Hanna). My nitrates never lowered until I did a major cleaning of my sump, but they’re going down now slowly. However, recently I noticed that I’ve got some white slimy bacteria? Algae? That’s growing/clogging my sump. It’s not growing in my tank, only in the sump. Photo and short video included.
I’ve started slowly lowering my vinegar dosing (100 -> 90 -> 75ml/day) for my 200g tank.
Question: any other recommendations for getting rid of this stuff? I’m ok going slow as long as things move in the right direction.
