think i figured out why....

There has been a small pile of crap laying on the bottom of my tank for quite awhile now. Well today i decided to vacuum it up, then i decide to start moving things and i couldn't believe all the crap laying on the bottom. Im gonna let stuff settle for abit and then vacuum a bit more.
I also decided to check the TDS of my water change water......it was 160ppm!!! Now i gotta figure out if its my RODI unit that needs some love, or if the barrel leeching crap into the water.

Turns out there was a bunch of nasty crap in my water change barrel, which is an easy fix. Hopefully this will solve my algae problem as well make some of my corals a lot happier.

uh, yeah... 160ppm is crazy.

At least there isn't water based glue in the barrel ... eh ?:mad2:
