Guess what! UPGRADE TIME

[ckmullin]

A little trick I use when I add substrate which can result in the picture above is use a HOB filter for a couple days. Around the filter media fold over a paper towel and every 30 min - 1 hr change the paper towel out. Works like a charm and been doing it for years. I'd rather get the small fines out of the tank than just let it settle.

^^ Yup an Aquaclear with some fine filter media takes care of that pretty quick. Then you don't have residual crap left in your tank somewhere (skimmer, socks, sand etc.)

actually no, this would not be the worst part of the hobby :-) Just a minor inconvenience compared to many many other worser events that can occur.

edit: specifically an addiction to the Canreefs. (or is that just me?)

So true, 2 major crashes that the worst part of the hobby, but restarting is kinda fun in getting you to care for your tank again lol
