Nitrates still 2.5
Phosphates 0.0122

Used the Aquazole tonight. I scooped up some tank water and placed in 10 250mg pills. Stirred with a spoon and it was fully dissolved in about a minute or two and poured that into the tank.

Day 3 2.5 grams done...

Well, then I got curious and plopped 10 more pills directly in the sump. They sank right to the bottom and started disolving instantly. Seems like a very easy way to dose it.

Now day 3 5 grams done...

I'm going to get a sample tonight to put under the microscope and see what's there and in what shape.

Tomorrow I won't dose anything.

I'll clean out the skimmer as the body is caked and bring it back up to normal operations and place a filter sock on the siphon line going into the sump. Then start blowing off the rocks.


I'll still leave the automatic water change off and carbon dosing cut in half.
