Pmd, thanks

I've given up on a planted tank, for now. I've used this bottle, literally twice, half cap fulls both times. There's probably at least 16 full ounces still left. I've owned it for 2 weeks now, its not old at all. The printed date on the bottom of the bottle is 9/18. I'll let it go for $5, you...

is it up against a wall?

I seem to have a lot of particulate floating around...Im thinking I need to clean out my 2213? Is it ok to just spray down everything inside with a hose? I know bacteria and what not grow in there so Im not entirely sure what and what not to clean? I think a lot of the particulate issue was the...

Pleco, are you using anything different in your canister?
