Thank you everyone, its been a great day

No, nitrates are around 2.5ppm on my Salifert test kit

Starting tomorrow I'm gonna go lights out for 3 days I think

I literally read this word for word on Google Lol I'm considering going lights out Doesn't matter how much siphoning I do, it all comes back the next day. Lights out I think

What's the best way to rid a tank of brown hair algae??? Its everywhereeeee

Thanks guys! Much appreciated! :)

Ahhh okay now that makes sense

So what's that mean? Lol

I didn't get ant margarita snails, they were all out. I've never had problems keeping them tho. I had them respawning in my 90 like crazy. I got cerith, cone head, emerald crabs and another one I can't remember the name of

I think I'm gonna get a handful of cerith, margarita, nassarius, and emerald crabs. Any more you guys would include? I have a feeling my triggers will make quick work of em eventually but they seem pretty docile to me. Any other good algae eaters? Glass cleaners?

Could be. I did run heavy carbon and a poly pad for almost 2 weeks after using it tho. Unless it absorbed into the rocks but I read that crypto isn't supposesld to do that. I'm getting more of a CUC today to try and help out. I lost a lot of snails in the past few months to my hermits for some...

I hope so Mike. I just went over and looked thru the side of my tank and saw something floating. Thought it was one of my triggers. turns out it was my eyes adjusting and it was just my seaweed clip that came off the glass Lol

No, but then again the tank that was up before this(the 135) was only up for maybe a month so it was hard to tell since it was so new.

Yeah well the sad part is last week I ordered 15 new frags which I just got yesterday! Probably not the best decision but hey my bday is tomorrow :) and of course when i ordered, the tank was manageable. Should I let the pellets dry out first? And yeah good idea with the filter sock, nevee...

I started out with 3/4 of a cup with little flow. I intend to toss the pellets tomorrow. I'm so beat from this tho. Just changed almost 30g of water to siphon out everything.

Okay, I just did a crazy siphoning job and got a lot of crap out. I'm swapping out my carbon for phosguard. It says 1 cup for every 60-100g so how much do you guys think I should do? I think I'm gonna complete shut off my pellets as everything seems to be okay since turning it off

I did turn it back on for like 15 mins. Any ill effects you think? I'm gonna take it half tonight when I get home and go from there.

Well my plain is to completely eliminate the pellets so if its dead couldnt I just toss it all now?

Alright Ill turn it back on now

Tested my po4 again after shutting over my biopellets, first time it was 0.03 then it was 0.00(quick test) then it was 0.02ppm. I have to go to work in a couple hours so when I get home I'm gonna do a water change, siphon, swap out my carbon for phosguard and cut my pellets in half
