Just use the greenex as prescibed on the container and your problem will go away in a few days without harming any inverts. Raise your temp up to 82 f.

Will this leg grow back? Thanks for the responses

What exactly would be my cleanup crew??? Thanks Rich 8)

Should I stir it up or just leave it as is? Thanks for your help. Rich :lol:
