Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, the tank seems to be doing progressively worse every day. I'm going to try the carbon reactor as a last-ditch effort.I’d agree with the culprit still being the splashless bleach. I believe that stuff has detergent in it,
and it may have other organic toxins. If it’s gotten into your rock you may have to keep on working to get that out.
You mentioned you ran carbon in a bag in the sump? That may not be efficient enough. You probably want to invest in a proper carbon reactor and make sure you push good flow through and also change it out frequently until you see improvement. I’d say perhaps daily at first, and then weekly.
You might also want to try Purigen alongside the carbon, which could potentially bind other organics.
