yeah its slowely starting to come off the rocks, and it also looks like im starting to get some algae growth on the intake tube of my HOB. It has some green stuff on it. Also I think my cycle is going well too, as of last night paramaters were
Ammonia 0.1
Nitrite 1.6
PH 8.5
thats all ive tested for though

Perhaps my cycle wasnt going as well as I thought...
There seems to be a sudden boost in ammonia, im now up to about 1.0ppm
nitrite is still at .1
ph still at 8.5
im thinking its because i re-arranged the rocks last night and there was some die-off from that? or maybe my cycle isnt as far along as i thought it was....crap

Also, I'm FINALLY starting to get the diatom or algae bloom thing happen, getting brown algaes over the rocks and substrate, also little bits on the glass and equipment. Yesterday I found this little brown worm thing...looked like it was dead, so i sucked it out of the water and looked at it, there was like little bristles commin out of it (not a bristle worm though...) IDK, it was strange
Umm...Oh yeah, it also looks like I MIGHT have cyano...not really sure though. I'll try and get some pictures of it.
Thats it for updates
