Ah, very good! I am glad to hear you have seen an improvement, and that you have managed to vacuum the sand. It really does make a huge difference...especially in tanks with high bioloads. It is not common practice though.

I agree. Small changes can make big differences, but small changes dont usually wreck havoc. I dont usually like to mess with pH, but your pH was really quite low. pH is a result of problems, not so much a cause of problems so it can be a good indicator.

I could tell from the water that I extracted that it helps as the water that was pulled out was fairly murky.

Ya the funny thing is that I also have an OPR monitor and although the reading is not as high as before it is still hovering at around the 400 range. The next one that I will give a try is the BRS CO2 Absorbent hope this one does the trick!
