![]() I just did the 20% water change and turned down my skimmer so it might actually start skimming something. Haven't added the carbon yet and keeping the gfo reactor off for now as well.
I noticed yesterday the table cover was leaking a tan colour light through so I put a couple blankets on top and its now black. Three more days and ill take the cover off and see the results. Hopefully it goes away for a while so I can enjoy my tank. |
