ya i was slacking bad,
i know, i know, it was 9 months before i changed the filter in it,
I know its supposed to be every 3-6 months. I did not realize you needed to clean the filter in the canister every month, I know the 9 month filter change had alot to do with my Hair algea problem which is now almost completly gone.
I will most certainly keep up on the canister upkeep from now on. All levels were in check before my water change as well which was nice. I had zero nitrates even with the old media in the filter. But im assuming all the HA was sucking that up anyways.
Might pick up another powerhead to increase the waterflow as im only running a koralia 3 in my 65g.
Lots of water changes for the next while and ample food and i hope the poor guy makes it. He did look better today.
