Some updates.. changed the carbon and resin in my crystal pro and im finally getting 0 TDS!
anyway, installed my IQ skimmer(changed the wood to sanders 2) yesterday in my HOB and surprisingly, it fits perfectly. after running for a day, its starting to skim some light yellowish color.. will stop skimming tomorrow and let the tank cycle.
filtration, had to leave the lid off.. the white filter bag contains some rowaphos.. will be adding purigen when tank finish cycling.
did a slight rescape.. should be more circulation now among the rocks.
Noticed some of this small white dots that are alive and moving.. what are they?
Thanks!
