Re: [GSAS-Member] Frustrated with tank that wont clear up

Laurel-
   Which water clarifier did you use? Some will say to start with one drop per 
gallon,
then after a few hours it has done it's job, so it's time for the next dose. If 
you are
dealing with an algae bloom you won't get ahead of the reproduction rate until 
you've
done a few doses.
   Don't clean the sump. We want something growing in there that will eat the 
... stuff
that gets filtered out.
