Yep. Looks like I have dinos.... Damn!
I'm going to cover the thing with cardboard and not let any light in for 72H. I don't have any livestock in the tank, so I don't have to worry about that. I don't even have carbon in the system yet as it was still cycling. I'll add the carbon to the HOB filter during blackout to help.. Any other suggestions let me know. Might keep it black until next week! Oh and I'll add an airstone while doing this to keep the pH up. |

Just an update on this. My tank has been covered for 2 days and I took a peek today. Noticed that the dynos have receeded a tonne! There are no stringy dynos anymore and the sand bed looks like it doesn't have a mat on it anymore. I'm going to wait until the end of the day today, put the carbon in my HOB and let it sit for another 4 days before I pull a cover to look at again. Then I'll do a water change and suck up what I can, cover it up and let is sit again next week.
I'll keep ya posted! |
