I would leave your tank alone. You have too many changes in a very short time.
You just changed your lights and you are making all these changes to the tank.
I would leave it alone. You can send a icp test and see what your numbers are.
I would also check your water you make for water change...
I was able to pick up a few bags from BRS when they had aqua forest salt for 20% off. I was able to pick up 3 200 gallon boxes.
I think the sale price was like $45 a box.
20 nitrate is fine. if possible you can do auto water changes. Like 2 gallon a day. Since you are changing a small amount of water you don’t even need to heat or chill the water. You can make a large 20g brute and mix the salt
What the hell. Are you wearing a wire ?? Did my wife set you up? Don’t ask me what I spend on my tanks. I feel like this is a setup. Lol all frags are $10
To be honest in my opinion, the old eb8 and eb4 are solid.
The only ones that I have a problem with are the new eb832.
I have two eb832 fail on me. My old eb8 and eb4 work with no problem.
if it’s the new gyre it’s only 3 pieces nothing to worry about.
I would put it in a bucket of vinegar 1st. If there is a snail inside the vinegar will kill it. If it’s stuck because of sand or dirt the vinegar will remove it. I would turn the pump on in the bucket in a few hours of it sitting.
