Whooooo Hooooo! 3 weeks with no water change and the nitrates are still under 5.
Cyano is gone; turf algae is almost gone; over-stocked tank and fat fish. Man, I love these pellets!

I went around all the feed and plant stores looking for rain barrels. The feed store had these food grade barrels available....I had to cut the top off though.

Mine used to contain caramel syrup....

I went there asking for food grade containers and they told me they didn't have anything.
