Stacy Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Because it's that time of year, I managed to knock an open, half full smaller jar of fish pellets into the 90g tank. Looked like it was snowing pink pellets. Scooped out what I could with the net, then did a 20g water change to suck out what I could. Problem: there's still a (to me) significant amount behind the rocks where I can't get to. Got several brittle stars and crabs and a foxface who loves the stuff and I'm hoping they'll clean it up. Should I remove all 100# of rock to get it all, or wait and see what happens? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 If you have a power head and some tubing around, you can try to blast it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I agree, removing the rock is not needed. Get as much out as you can. Then try using a powerhead to push some out of the rockwork. As you suspected, your clean up crew will do the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacy Posted May 28, 2011 Author Share Posted May 28, 2011 Thanks for the advice. Did another big wc the next day. All fish seem fine, it's the corals that aren't quite back up now. May have lost my sps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
