    So weird that u said that. I was literally just thinking if that's what was going on. Guess I gotta really siphon this crap out

    Nah I hear ya man, trust me, I do not want this to go even further south! Lol this is already driving me crazy so the easiest way out is best!

    I'm going to test tomorrow morning. If it has a reading, I'll cut it in half and swap out the carbon for phosguard. Then eventually get rid of the BP altogether.

    Well I shut off my BP reactor so I guess I'll see if there's a change tomorrow morning. Getting my water change ready for tomorrow so I can siphon out as much as possible.

    Now I'm lost. Just tested my po4 3x with the Hanna checker and all 3x it came up 0.00ppm when 3 days ago it was at 0.16ppmish I did do a water change and siphon out a lot and added some more Biopellets 2 days ago. Do you think that the additional pellets and water change helped reduce it that...

    Would I be able to use it in my Biopellet reactor? Its an aquamaxx XL reactor.

    I just got in from work, stopped and picked up phosguard. How does everyone recommend I run this? Filter media bag or reactor? My cyano is taking over. Real bad. I may have to go lights out again while doing another water change/siphoning.

    Sorry, old sand as in 2 month old sand, it was the sand that was in my 135g but then that started leaking so I got a 150 instead so I just swapped everything over

    No the tank is brand new but it has all of the old sand, rocks and most of the water. Barely had a mini-cycle. This tank has been up for almost 4 months

    Alright I got what you're saying. But that's IF they're leeching. I'm gonna stop the biopellets first and see what happens.

    My only concern with this is I don't know which rocks are which so I'd have to do all of the rock and that's a lot to do. Like 200lbs I'm guessing

    I intend to Matt. I'm not ripping my tank apart. I've done it too much. I'm gonna take the pellets off and try some phosguard.

    By flush you mean replace the water? I had a powerhead in there if that makes any difference

    Yep, all live sand, caribsea Bahamas oolite if I remember correctly. The rock was from 2 separate places. Half of it was from my 90g tank. The rest was ordered from Marco Rock as dry rock which I let soak in RO water for a couple weeks prior to adding into the tank

    Well I think the source of po4 is coming from my pellets. If that makes sense. I stopped feeding heavily, I'm religious with my water changes. I even reduced my light schedule to just 7hrs a day.

    Yeah, not sure where you're located but any LFS should have it. Especially ones that sell tanks. Try petco/petsmart

    When I siliconed baffles into my sump, I used Aqueon silicone, works great. Lil pricey but its worth it I think.
