Seemingly over night...this morning, BOOM, there it is. I went to LFS for 8 gallons of salt for my 34g RSM, I have been doing about 25% water change a week for the past 3 weeks so I was already planning on this. Turkey bastered the rocks to get the funk suspended in the water column, vacuumed out as much as I could and vacuumed the substrate. Replaced my 100ml purigan bag and added 2 in the media rack, changed out the mechanical filter, added some more cheato, ordered new lights, even though mine are only a couple months old and ordered purigren phosban 100ml bags x6 of those. Not feeding or running lights today. Changed the mp10 from nutrient export mode to random reef and things already look better.
I know it's cause I fed too much, but my new clown gobys don't eat when it's time so I've tried target feeding them and they still don't get to it. The pellets sink so fast the clowns don't get half of it, so I'm going to research exactly how much and how to feed fish.
Anything else I should do? I use ro/di for top off water. Tank temp 78. Ph 8.3-8.4.
Thanks.
