As some people said gac can be a culprit in this disease in tangs

I just the fluval brand bulk gac, it rinses good, and price compared to other gac is good, I replace it every month I'd say about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cup in a mesh bag I use

Thanks! I will definitely go that route an save some money. Looking forward to see how my water clarity comes along. I just finished a water change 2 days ago and I found my water to have a yellow tinge and fishy smell. I'm hoping this will eliminate most of this and give a nice clear appearance.

Funny you say that, I just picked up a container of it and placed it in my sump. Fingers crossed that my water looks clear.
