Did you rince the rowa. Its finer partical. I run mine back into filter sock to prevent it from reacing dt
I did a 30% water change today so that will bring up the alk a bit and tommorow ill try to get it to 8 if its not there yet.

I also noticed the acros are also bleaching from the base up along with the tips. Im not sure if this is a sign of anything.

Im waiting for the new phosphate test to come in since my last elos one was faulty. I did see a big difference in phosphate reduction even with the api. It now reads zero but we all know how accurate that is....
