JDK Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hard to tell from pics but looks like a mixture of diatoms and the beginnings of cyano? Link to comment
cdrewferd Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Yea, looks like a slight cycle might be happening. Do slightly bigger water changes for the next 2-3 water changes and that should help. Some Chem-pure and Purigen wouldn't hurt either. Link to comment
blueovalinv Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 thanks, i hope its cycling... Link to comment
blueovalinv Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Things are staring to clear up. Thanks for the heads up on the Chem-pure and Purigen. Planning on installing these into the system. Is there any suggestions to the order of filtration? Link to comment
