Just an update on this. My tank has been covered for 2 days and I took a peek today. Noticed that the dynos have receeded a tonne! There are no stringy dynos anymore and the sand bed looks like it doesn't have a mat on it anymore. I'm going to wait until the end of the day today, put the carbon in my HOB and let it sit for another 4 days before I pull a cover to look at again. Then I'll do a water change and suck up what I can, cover it up and let is sit again next week.
I'll keep ya posted!
