I've seen them on the internet many times but not in person, I've read that they work well. I wonder if they stink.

I'm guessing they would stink, like a skimmer, wouldn't they?

I'm going to guess you don't have a diatom issue. I don't think I've ever seen a diatom issue in tanks older than 6 weeks. Your description also doesn't match up. Get as good a pic as you can up, let's see if we can figure out what you do have!

I've posted a picture, and here is another one.

That is the same junk that was ALL over my sand to. I siphoned out what I could get at & after topping up my pellets it was gone in a few week.

Good to know Greg. I'll continue siphoning and get my pellets up to 4 cups and hopefully things will start to change.

Will GFO work instead of pellets?
