Hey its been a bit since an update so here we go...
Tank is doing well& so is the downoi(doubled in size)..
Have had this film on the surface of the take for over a week now&it seems to of reduced o2 levels within the tank(masses of shrimp at the surface)..tested:ammo 0,nitrite 0 & nitrate 20-30 ppm..
Despite performing wc's every couple days to reduce the film theres been a few more shrimp die..
Digging around in the spare parts tub I was able to find some unused parts from the sunsun basic skimmer attachment.. A little diy action along with some McGiver like creativity I put together a skimmer attached to the intake tube & in minutes the film is gone..
Also noticing more activity from the scrimp..
sit in silence...
