I'm mixing up emergency water right now and have 20 gallons of seasoned water ready...............tomorrow is the final assault on the algae in my tank - attack is schedualled for dawn............lol

seriously though, i am going to clean all the glass even the back and then syphon out about 1/2 of the sand from there ive ordered a dozen nassarious snails to replace the cleaner crew i had and 6 more lil hermits and a pencil urchin to take care of the rocks, we had a power outage for 10 hrs yesterday because a cold front and the edge of hurricane bill collided right over my head basically {4 inches of rain in 25 minutes, and a small tornado about a mile from me} but anyway i checked on the tank as it sat there dead calm last night and man i had hundreds of bristle worms and pods all over the place in the calm water, so i dont want to scrub the rocks if i dont have to and kill em again - i really think and hope all my algae issues are steming from my cleaner crew dieing off over time and the deep sand bed has been developeing anarobic dead spots in it because its not being stirred and is so deep {4 inches in most spots} - - -yet again we shall see

How did your final assault go Boss?

I dont know how you dont dose. Your crabs snails and shrimp would love you if you did. even if its just 5 ml a day. It will help you out a lot.

well the sand assualt happened yesterday..............i sucked about 30 lbs of sand out of the tank and didnt even stir up a cloud, took a razor to the glass and cleaned all the equipment, about 1/3 of the rocks have hair algae on them but i left it because i dont want to kill all the pods and stuff again. will all the cleaning and syphoning i took 60-70% of the water out so on top of everything i did a HUGE water change..............this morning the clowns almost seem to be playing and the algae looks like shit, yellowing and wilting so maybe this is a good thing...............on top of that i ordered 5 scarlet hermits, 5 margarita snaild, 5 nassarious snails and a long spine urchin last night so i have a custom nano cleaner crew on its way..................."i ask not what your fishtank can do for you but what you can do for your fish tank" i know thats Jacks quote but RIP teddy you'll be missed by the world
