Well that stinks. I lost mime too and believe it was because of the dino problem I have. I read dinos are toxic and any cleanup crew that eats it can die.

I Seems I have both. The algae has gas bubbles and was told it's dinos.

I bring water to ACC to be tested and waiting should be early next week. See what they suggest. My black is entire tank. Dark sheet over tank n lights. No other light can get through.

I have a Gyre on one side and an original single Koriala on other side. yesterday I swapped the single for a double Koriala I had. Still water movement was fine all through the tank.

The sand bed is very low, jsut enough to cover the glass, as I never did believe in deep ones even when I did FW. I recently picked up 2 sand sifting stars to cleanup the sand as it was horrible and they helped a little. I have been having this issue for months so I can't blame the starfish.

Parameters are all in check. Only Nitrate a bit high .25 I believe the cause is low nutrients which for me is a joke. All my other thanks I had high phosphate but reading zero now. I was dosing peroxide weekly but doesn't seem to be effective so stopped.

Well that was way to easy. Wife seems okay with it. Now I'm scared.

Now to convince wife and find someone with a truck.

Was at the Pet sMart at Holmdel / Hazlet area. They have a black wood stand for $50. Looks like it will fit a 75g tank.

Thanks and good luck. Let me know how you beat it.

Feel your pain. Second time this year for me. Been dosing Vibrant as perxide. My sand bed is disgusting and may stop by ACC for a conch.
