What else can I do?

Ph this morning was roughly the same, like I said probably a crappy test kit.

Dosed another round of chemiclean this morning, gonna keep the lights off for a couple of days, might cover the tank and go the complete blackout route too. So we'll see what happens.

if your going to cover the tank then you need to do complete blackout a little bit of light getting through will do you no good.

good luck man im sure you get it knocked down

cheers

I'm gonna get garbage bags later and cover the tank up.

Since I lack an air stone I cranked up the skimmer to overflow.

Definitely looks like Dino's to me. I had them a few years ago and conquered them. Drastic measures though, you need to do an entire blackout over the whole tank for at least 4-5 days. Garbage bags won't work though, they are too thin and some ambient light will still penetrate into the tank. I used my motorcycle cover to make the tank pitch black. Try it, your tank will be ok in about a week. ( tank has to be in TOTAL darkness)

now ya got er, if you want some more oxygen then take the cup off the skimmer all together more oxygen will flow over

[reefwars]

yeah garbage bags are gonna leak light in , it needs to be pitch black like burger mentioned even ambient lighting is food

K, I'll steal our barbecue cover and see if it fits lol.

[coolhandgoose]

I took the outside table cover so hopefully that's dark enough

X2. Cup off while cranked up is the best way to do it.
