Tony did you test the water for Ph and amoonia? Cloudiness in the water usaully indicates, participation or organics in the water.


I also have a Eheim canister for loan. if you have more active carbon or chemiclean. If your polypad gets dirty, remember to replace them. I have ~18"x36" 100micron polypad in my club-it'll take out most of the stuff suspended in the water.


Wish all the best. At least I know the tiny frag of Candy will survive. It survived my "First SW Tanks" previous ownership.:biggrin: So cheer up.

Tony

Pack that Cascade with carbon, chemi pure, Filter floss, and whatever else you can as well. If you got 3 trays I would put 2 bags of CP, then I would fill up tray 2 with carbon and the top pack with filter floss. Get as much of that stuff out as possible with what you have on hand and then go get the PB Reactor.

Tony, sorry to hear about this situation.
You should try to do one large water change, even one 20 gallon change at once is better than four 5 gallon wc's.
Good luck bro, keep us posted.

Come on T. You know the saying, good things take time, problems happen fast. You've seen it first hand now.

Sounds like you've got a good handle on it and it'll start looking better soon.
Stay with it.
