8th December 2014
Been away two weeks, had some hot days where the house sitter didn't leave the air con on and I'm sure the tank probably had a few days of 28 degree temps.
Also discovered ATO had at some point completely rusted out and been sitting in the water:
Over the two weeks I was away I lost:
- a blue trachy,
- the last remaining golden torch head, and
- a green and orange mille.
Haven't tested anything (too scared to) so I'll be changing 20% water every other day to try to bring things back to normal. Had a cyano outbreak again. Will change out carbon and GFO but I expect excess nutrients to be behind the algae. It's even growing on the macro in the sump!
