What else can I do?

So you see the slime with snotty bubbles anymore? I would probably do another water change after you take the cover off.

I did not see any brown snotty stuff. Mind you it usually came out after the lights have been on for a bit.

I have water already mixed up for a water change tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be the big reveal! Lights will be on and hopefully no reappearance of the evil brown crap.

good luck , are you running your phos media??

No I'm not running the phos reactor, I'll do a test and see what it is. My Duncan was opening up this morning which is good. I'm wondering if I was stripping too much out of the water before, I was running quite a bit of gfo. I'm going to add carbon this morning as well, I don't have a reactor for it just in a nylon sock.

its possible but i doubt it , i run on a 25g tank what some people run in a year for gfo. im running about a half a reactor full of gfo that goes fast.

now its possible as a whole, to be stripping too many things out , but theres always going to be a tiny bit phoshate always being produced or added....if there wasnt you would have no life in your tank and it would all be dead

how much at what brand are you using??

changing the carbon out for new stuff is a good idea.

do you run socks??

Ya I run a filter sock and change it out every few days when it starts overflowing.

I had about 2 cups of brs gfo in the reactor.

I'm also hoping that the cheato I've added will aid in phosphate removal.

Phosphate right now is .08
