That does suck, sorry man. FWIW, I empathize. Honestly, I think it's something of a rite of passage in a mixed tank. Although it could well be the change in dosing. Things literally can be that sensitive to change. It's not that one method is better or worse than another, but the bump in the road caused by changing methods has ripple effects. If it is the change in methods, just stay the course, changing back will only make it worse .. things *should* bounce back eventually.

Doug..sorry to hear about the problems you are having.
There is not much I can offer a master like you, but if I can help let me know. I do have some Candycane that I can frag if you would like.

Some props to Doug's "plain" brown birdsnest.

Way back when after my tank crashed on Thanksgiving, Doug being the awesome guy he is gave me this tiny frag of what he called plain brown birdsnest. So way back at the end of December I added this frag to my system.

This is what it looks like today. So Doug, man do you make nice "plain" brown frags.



Whatever it is that you're doing, please keep it up!
