The tank got suddenly much clearer again. Now we can actually see the sand. I ended up not turning off the powerheads like I thought I was going to. We've also added PVC to the sump and brought down the noise to nearly nothing! much better. Now it's just more waiting. Will test the water tonight.

From this



...to this in 12 hours(after over a week of not improving much)

You bring up a question I had. Last week one of the socks got stuck with the laundry and got washed WITH the clothes AND detergent. Is this particular sock shot? is there a way to rinse it, or anything else to allow me to use it again in the tank?
