J&L carries Chemi-clear. Its a potent form of an oxidizer and it seems to work well. Keep in mind that oxidizers will quickly convert your water from a nutrient rich...to nutrient less. So,...

Hi,

Given the information we know from RC, we should at least look at the possibility of the DSB doing something that we didn't intend.

Hi,

I am taking down my DSB as we speak, but I am taking a long term approach. When I do a water change, I just siphon as much sand as I can.
