ok. well i have had a bad algae outbreak for about 3 months now(ever since football season started and i slacked with my water changes).So now i have been doing 2 waterchanges a week since. and its been so frustrating now that my once beautiful tank turned into a algae farm... Well all of my corals are fine, but my sponge is dying and my corals have no room to grow. Well so when i got so frustrated after using a whole bucket and a half of salt i decided that i needed to clean my fuge. I wanted to clean it with saltwater but i wanted it to get somewhat clean for christmas when i have people over. So i just used fresh...
Thanks for the info it was really helpful. I can see what you are talking about in the chaeto. It was breaking up like you said, since the cells bursted.
well i threw out all of my algae since it was decomposing and probly producing more nitrates. I need to get some more from someone.
by cleaning out and restarting is that including just the chaeto or the chaeto and the sand?
